Not being able to attend school, he enjoyed watching animals and his father’s printmaking. Encouraged by his grandmother Rui Yoshida, Tshi often sketched animals. Yoshida’s artistic career was a long struggle between fidelity to his father’s legacy and freedom from it. Artist, dictated Tshi’s early artistic development. In 1926, Tshi chose animals as his primary subjects to distinguish himself from his father, who was a landscape printmaker. However, in the 1930s, Tshi started making landscape. Similar to his father’s works. Father and son traveled together and even painted side by side. From 1930 to 1931, Hiroshi and Tshi traveled to. In 1940 he married and soon had five sons. Yoshida’s adult career began under adverse circumstances. Yoshida was still an apprentice in the Yoshida family system. He had little, if any, artistic autonomy from his father. 1936 was the beginning of military dictatorship, under which art was under censorship. In 1943, Yoshida produced oil paintings that depict factory workers and civilians engaging in war production. After the war, because of economic hardship, Yoshida published seventeen landscape works in 1951 for American personnel and their wives. The death of his father in 1950 marked Tshi’s total break from his past and from naturalism. In 1952, Yoshida began a series of abstract woodcuts influenced by his brother, Hodaka Yoshida. In 1953, Tshi traveled to the United States, Mexico, London, and the Near East. He made presentations in thirty museums and galleries in eighteen states. From 1954 to 1973, Yoshida made three hundred nonobjective prints. His Humming Bird and Fuchsia in 1971 was a prelude to the African works that he began the following year. From 1971 to 1994, until the last years of his life, Tshi worked almost exclusively on animal prints. Tshi was also a children’s book illustrator. He wrote his own short stories and made illustrations in the Animal Picture Book series.
