These prints [along with S1996.8] are the first of six views of the Taj Mahal created by Yoshida after he returned to Japan from his trip to India. The artist's fascination with the effects of changing light found a perfect subject in the Taj Mahal and its gardens. Using the same set of carved woodblocks for both prints, Yoshida has effectively rendered the scene in daylight and in darkness. Subtly varied ones of blue and gray dominate the night scene, where the diffuse moonlight reflects softly from the white marble buildings and a bright lamp within the tomb is reflected in the garden pool.
