Description

This multi-color woodblock print depicts a panoramic East Asian landscape scene featuring a prominent multi-tiered gate structure overlooking a body of water with various boats and figures engaged in activity in the foreground. The style suggests an early 20th-century aesthetic. Executed on paper, the print bears visible Japanese characters along the left margin and in the lower right, where a romanized signature, ‘Hiroshi Yoshida,’ and the romanized title, ‘Dairen Gate,’ are also present. Additional numerical markings such as ‘242’ and ‘3042.MNH’ are observed in the lower left. The second image provides a monochromatic key block or preparatory drawing related to the main print.
