ABOUT THE ARTIST

Toshi Yoshida was born in 1911, as the oldest son of Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950), one of the most successful Japanese woodblock printmakers in the Shin-hanga movement specialising in the subject of landscape. He grew up in the artistic environment of the Yoshida family : his father, mother Fujio and grandmother Rui were all woodblock print artists and encouraged him to make sketches of his favourite subject - animals. At an early age, one of his legs was paralysed and it made impossible for him to attend school. His father took this time to pass down to his son the techniques of traditional woodblock printmaking from artisans working at his father's workshop.
