Typical Price

The fourth in Yoshida's Taj Mahal sequence, this moonlit view transforms the white marble monument into a luminous apparition against the night sky. Jizuri editions of this nocturnal masterpiece sell for $2,500-$7,000, placing it among the highest-valued prints in the India series. The technical achievement of rendering moonlight on marble through woodblock printing makes this one of Yoshida's most admired compositions.
