Toshi Yoshida (1911 - 1995)
Iidabashi, 1939

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.

Iidabashi - The sun is setting on the beautiful old village near the Iidabashi. This lovely view from early in Toshi Yoshida’s career is so beautifully drawn it is reminiscent of an oil painting, artist masterwork.
