The Taj Mahal is often said to be most beautiful by moonlight, and it is clear from his prints that Yoshida appreciated the subtle splendor of the monument at night. Three of his six prints of the Taj Mahal are night scenes. Yoshida mastered techniques for creating the atmosphere of a moonlit night through multiple printings of translucent colors. Although they appear simpler at first viewing, the night scenes produced by Yoshida often required nearly as many printings as the daylight scenes to achieve the artist's desired effects.
