Toshi Yoshida - Toshi Yoshida was the son of Hiroshi Yoshida, one of the most famous woodblock print artists of the twentieth 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 the people and places around them.

Although Yoshida's prints span a wide range of subjects, he is most well known for his lovely portrayals of everyday life in Japan and the beautiful countryside. His works often include the human element, adding a sense of scale and a personal quality to his remarkable landscapes. Softly colored and masterfully composed, Toshi Yoshida's evocative woodblock prints capture the beauty of Japan in his own unique style.

Taxco, Mexico, 1975 - Charming view of Taxco, Mexico, the traditional tile-roofed, white stucco buildings layered up the steep hillside. At lower right, colorful animal figures hang from the eaves of a ceramic studio, while at left, a sign on a wall reads "Plata Victoria." A dog wanders the cobblestone street nearby. Blossoming trees add touches of color. A handsome design, beautifully composed and detailed. Would make an attractive framed display.
