Hiroshi Yoshida

Hiroshi Yoshida (1876–1950) was a distinguished Japanese painter and woodblock print artist, pivotal in the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement, which revitalized traditional ukiyo-e art for a modern audience.

Renowned for his atmospheric landscapes, he often hand-printed his works, ensuring high quality and detail. His extensive travels across Asia, North America, and Europe inspired many of his pieces. Through his fusion of Western realism and Japanese craftsmanship, Yoshida left an enduring impact on 20th-century printmaking.
