Hiroshi Yoshida

Yoshida Hiroshi (1876 - 1950) was a central figure of Taiheiyogakai movement and a pioneer of Western-style painting in the genres of watercolor, oil painting, and woodblock printing in Japan in the early 20th century. At the age of 44, he published woodblock prints based on his sketches and at 49 produced his first collection prints. Yoshida aimed to create a new style by bringing together the realistic rendering of European paintings and techniques of traditional Japanese woodblock printing.

Having a great affinity with nature, Yoshida was convinced that beauty was to be discovered in the natural domain, and by expressing it through his works he endeavored to mediate the beauty to man whose perception failed to appreciate it. Yoshida mainly depicted landscapes, which were derived from his extensive field trips throughout Japan as well as other countries.

The exhibition presents about 80 woodblock prints from his various well-known series, including Ten Views of Fuji, as well as The Inland Sea Series, which captures transient, momentary expressions of the Seto Inland Sea.
