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. Trained in Western-style painting, Yoshida incorporated these techniques into the Japanese woodblock tradition.
