Artist:

Yoshida Hiroshi (1876–1950) was a masterful Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker who played a pivotal role in modernizing the traditional ukiyo-e art form. Trained in both Japanese and Western painting techniques, Yoshida is best known for his stunning landscapes that harmoniously blend realism with delicate composition. His works often depict iconic scenes from Japan—such as Mt. Fuji, temples, and seasonal changes—but he also traveled extensively and produced prints of locations across Europe, the United States, and India, earning international acclaim.

What set Yoshida apart was his deep involvement in every stage of the woodblock print process. Unlike many artists of his time, he maintained creative control over design, carving, and printing through a family-run workshop. His use of subtle color gradations, atmospheric light, and painterly detail gave his prints a refined elegance that appealed to both Eastern and Western audiences. Today, Yoshida Hiroshi is celebrated as one of the leading figures of the shin-hanga (“new prints”) movement, which revitalized Japanese printmaking in the 20th century.
