Overview: Up for sale is this excellent and uncharacteristic Japanese woodblock by famed shin hanga artist, Hiroshi Yoshida (1871-1950). Yoshida is the forefather of the shin hanga printing movement in the 1920's -1960's. This woodblock print is the rarely-seen "Small Town in Chugoku" and depicts a small town scene. It is somewhat unusual for Yoshida, who is mostly known for depicting famous Japanese monuments, shrines and landmarks. This particular piece is not often seen for sale and appears to be one of Yoshida's rarer prints. This print is block-signed by Yoshida at lower right and titled at lower left. A true masterpiece.
Yoshida is well-listed, with records up to $30,000. His work is featured in numerous museums, including the Japanese National Museum in Tokyo. If you collect woodblocks and you don't have one by Yoshida, then your collection is simply not complete.
Condition: Print is in good condition. Moderate mat burn, toning and areas of discoloration in margin. Image colors are excellent.
