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.

This print is one of a pair of prints of the same location at different times of day. Other times, when he did groups of prints (as at Irozaki and Mt. Fuji from Nagaoka) the prints were made using many of the same blocks with variations in coloration. For the images at Tsubakuro-dake, however, Yoshida made completely original designs for each of the two prints. Each one uses similar colors and evokes similar feelings, but they each required entirely new block sets.
