Hiroshi Yoshida

Japanese, 1876 - 1950
Hiroshi Yoshida (1876–1950) was a renowned Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker, widely regarded as a master of the shin-hanga movement. Born in Kurume, Fukuoka, he trained in Western-style painting before turning to traditional Japanese woodblock printing. Yoshida began his career with watercolor and oil paintings, exhibiting both in Japan and internationally. In the 1920s, he transitioned to woodblock printing and established his own studio, where he supervised the entire printmaking process—from design to carving and printing. His prints are celebrated for their harmonious blend of Eastern and Western aesthetics, capturing landscapes from Japan, Europe, the Americas, and South Asia with vivid light and color. Over his lifetime, Yoshida created more than 250 woodblock prints and played a key role in modernizing Japanese printmaking. His legacy continues through the work of his artistic family and the enduring popularity of his prints worldwide.
