The wonderful woodblock print 'Yoshida Jinja to Fuji' (Yoshida Shrine and Mt. Fuji) is by Kaiseki Jokata(1882–1966) and is part of the series 'Twenty-five Views of Mt. Fuji' (Fuji nijūgokei). This print depicts a tranquil daily scene at Yoshida Shrine, featuring the large red Torii gate and Mt. Fuji in the background. While not many people are shown, the shrine attracts constant visitors. This beautiful print captures incredible details and is very hard to find on the market.

Kaiseki Jokata (whose real family name is Sadakata) was born in Okayama in 1882. He was an active Nihon-ga artist (painter) and later moved to France, where he was selected for the Salon d'Automne. After returning to Tokyo, he eventually went back to Okayama, his hometown where he was born and raised. Later in his career, he also worked on woodblock prints. Throughout his life, his primary subjects were Mt. Fuji and Buddhist paintings. His woodblock prints, especially those from the Fuji series, are well-known.
