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.
Matsumoto, 1940 - Lovely, quite scene in this rural local. The beautiful, traditional houses along the river in Matsumoto. Mountains in the distance tower in the mist. A wonderful scene that transports the viewer to another place.
