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.

As Toshi Yoshida continued to experiment with designs in the 1960s, he did a series of famous sites in Kyoto in a new style. In these designs, Yoshida did not try to recreate exactly what he saw in a photorealistic manner, but instead used white outlines and wide regions of colour to show these familiar views in a new way. This is one such image. You can see the rest in our catalogue here:
