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, though in his earliest days he also loved to paint animals. The landscapes 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 from the later years of his career, when he returned to animals again. Because the print is so large, it did not fit directly on our scanner, so I had to take photos of it. Please forgive the inconsistent lighting and diagonal images.

The printed Toshi Yoshida signature is in the corner.

These owls are just so beautifully printed.

In the bottom left corner, you can see the print's name in English and Japanese.
