Fujiyama from Gotemba Hiroshi Yoshida carved blocks and printed himself Paper size 15.5 x 10.25 Image size 10 x 7.5. Hiroshi Yoshida is considered one of the leading figures of the renewal of Japanese printmaking after the end of the Meiji period (1912). The renewal was based on two groups of artists, the Shin Hanga (modern prints) and the Sosaku Hanga (creative prints) movement. Hiroshi Yoshida was born on September 19, 1876 in the town of Kurume, in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan as the son of an elementary school principal. His artistic talent was discovered early and at the age of 18 he entered a private art school in Tokyo. Hiroshi started as a painter and soon won many art exhibition prizes. But it was not before 1920 that he began creating woodblock prints. The traditional process of creating Japanese woodblock prints was a cooperation of three strictly separated skills: the artist who designed the print subject, the carver and finally the printer and publisher. In contrast to this traditional approach, the Sosaku Hanga followers believed that the process of creating a print – design, carving, printing – should be performed by the artist himself. Although Yoshida Hiroshi is usually considered as a member of the Shin Hanga movement, he followed the same ambitions of creating a print by himself. In 1923 Watanabe’s store was completely destroyed in the fires that followed the Great Kanto Earthquake. All of Yoshida Hiroshi’s wood blocks and more than a hundred of his prints were lost. After coming back from his third visit to the United States, Yoshida Hiroshi started employing his own artisan carvers and printers in 1925. He supervised them very closely and often he carved a block himself. He thought that he had to be more skilled in all aspects of producing a print than each of his workers.
