Avenue of Cherry Trees (Hanazakari [Cherry Trees in Full Bloom]), from the series Eight Scenes of Cherry Blossoms (Sakura hachidai)

In this series, Yoshida used the traditional medium

of woodblock printing with a modern, Westernized

drawing style to show scenes of cherry blossoms

in present-day Japan. This avenue of small stores

offering snacks and souvenirs to the tourists who

have come to see the blossoms is located at the

Sankei-en garden in Yokohama, also the subject

of another print in the series.
