The majestic peak of Kanchenjunga, the world's third highest mountain, rises on the border between Nepal and Sikkim. This series of three prints reveals Yoshida's sensitivity to the nuances of light in mountainous regions, such as those in Japan where he spent time hiking and camping each year and sought out while he was traveling abroad. Using methods he had first experimented with in 1921 for a series of four prints of sailboats, Yoshida used a single set of woodblocks to create these three prints of Kanchenjunga at different time of day. Selecting colors and overprinting many times in this customary technique, he evoked the cool, clear tones of early morning light, the bright sky of midday, and the glimmer of sunlight on the snowy peak in late afternoon.
