Original Toshi Yoshida (1911 - 1995) Japanese Woodblock Print
Lanterns and Maples, 1963

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 - Lovely design of a garden in fall, with a stone lantern framed by colorful red and orange Japanese maple leaves. The geometric pattern of the tile roof provides a beautiful contrast to the organic shape of the foliage and rocks. The pebbles in the foreground and the white outlines are deeply embossed, adding a beautiful texture to the image. A fantastic nature scene and an excellent modern design to collect or frame.
