Description: Toshi Yoshida was a prolific artist who left behind a vast catalogue of images when he passed away in 1995. His family has continued to have his designs re-printed posthumously, so the signature you see in the corner is not a hand-drawn signature by the artist, but was instead printed by the printer. The prints here at Mokuhankan are recent re-printings by our partner Numabe Shinkichi, using the original blocks (You can click his name above for a little more information about him.)

Up until his father passed away in 1950, Toshi Yoshida mainly followed in his father’s footsteps by creating landscapes around Japan in the shin-hanga style. These are the prints he is most famous for, but he later experimented with many different subjects and styles. We hope you will enjoy the interesting selection of his works available here.

He not only designed scenes from around Japan, but in the 1970s, he also made prints of scenes he saw on his world travels. This image of Monument Valley in southern Utah is one such print. Monument Valley was made famous in John Ford's films and is a symbol of the American Southwest.

Take a closer look at the bottom left corner where the print's name is written in English and Japanese.

Here is a close up view of the bottom right corner where Toshi Yoshida's signature has been printed. As mentioned before, this is not a hand-signed print made during his lifetime but was instead printed recently using the original blocks.
