Yoshida in quartersawn white oak with Black-Brown stain
and oak plugs.

Toshogu Shrine (1937)
This print is by Yoshida Hiroshi, for whom weve named
the Yoshida frame. Born in 1876 he mastered the art of ukiyo-e (woodblock
printing), winning widespread recognition in his native Japan as well as
in the United States and Europe, and came to be regarded as one of the most
important artists in the shin hanga (modern print) movement. First
visiting America and Europe in 18991901, during which he exhibited
extensively, he played a significant role in the popularization and influence
of Japanese block printing in early twentieth century western art.
