Toshi Yoshida - Toshi Yoshida was the son of Hiroshi Yoshida, one of the most famous woodblock print artists of the 20th century. He followed the family tradition, and centuries old Japanese craft, of woodblock printmaking adopting and developing his signature style. His close relationship with his father was instrumental in the pursuit of his art. Together, father and son traveled Japan, and the globe, examining and sketching people and places around them.

Kikuzaka Street - Beautiful print showing a traditional Japanese street scene in the 30’s. Two women in traditional kimono stroll down the picturesque street. Wonderful detail in the two figures. A beautiful Yoshida design.
