ABOUT THE ARTIST: Toshi Yoshida was the first son of Hiroshi Yoshida, one of the Shin Hanga school masters. He followed the family tradition and the centuries old Japanese craft of woodblock printmaking, adopting and developing his signature style. Following a traditional lower and middle school education, Toshi's interest in art lead him to four years of study of oil painting at the Taiheiyo Art School. His close relationship with his father was instrumental in the pursuit of his art. Together father and son traveled Japan and the world, examining and sketching people and places around them. Toshi’s body of work includes 396 woodblock prints that range from traditional Japanese landscapes, to animals of Africa, to complete abstracts.
