Original Toshi Yoshida (1911 - 1995) Japanese Woodblock Print
Irozaki, Morning, 1861

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.

Comments - A breathtaking view of the rugged coastline of Irozaki on the Izu Peninsula, the jagged rocks of the shore contrasting with the broad expanse of calm blue ocean. A few boats dot the water and a soft rosy glow spreads along the horizon. A beautiful Toshi Yoshida seascape, with wonderful detail in the water and coast. Would make a gorgeous framed display.
