Japanese Woodblock Print Willow and Stone Bridge by Hiroshi Yoshida
Author: adminOct 20
Japanese Woodblock Print “Willow and Stone Bridge” by Hiroshi Yoshida. Signed in plate Yoshida and Hiroshi red seal. Signed in pencil lower right Yoshida Hiroshi and titled “Willow and Stone Bridge” in pencil. Later edition with no Jizuri mark or self published. Frame measures 16 x 11 inches. Woodblock image measures 14 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches. Condition: Nicely framed in gold metal with glass. Wrinkles can be seen going diagonal in several places, crinkles to top middle left front. Nicely framed but does have wrinkles. Hiroshi Yoshida was born in 1876. He began his artistic training with his adoptive father in Kurume, Fukuoka prefecture. Around the age of twenty, he left Kurume to study with Soritsu Tamura in Kyoto, subsequently moving to Tokyo and the tutelage of Shotaro Koyama. In 1902, he played a leading role in the organization of the Meiji Fine Arts Society into the Pacific Painting Association. His work was featured in the exhibitions of the state-sponsored Bunten and Teiten. While highly successful as an oil painter and watercolor artist, Hiroshi Yoshida turned to woodblock printmaking upon learning of the Western world’s infatuation with ukiyo-e. Yoshida oversaw each step of the woodblock printing process-from design to publication. His career was temporarily interrupted by his sojourn as a war correspondent in Manchuria during the Pacific War. Although he designed his last woodblock print in 1946, Yoshida continued to paint with oils and watercolors up until his death in 1950. Hiroshi Yoshida was widely traveled and knowledgeable of Western aesthetics, yet maintained an allegiance to traditional Japanese techniques and traditions. Attracted by the calmer moments of nature, his woodblock prints breathe coolness, invite meditation, and set a soft, peaceful mood. All of his lifetime prints are signed “Hiroshi Yoshida” in pencil and marked with a jizuri (self-printed) seal outside of the margin. Within the image, most prints are signed “Yoshida” with brush and ink beside a red “Hiroshi” seal.

OHARA SHOSON KOSON Japanese Woodblock Print NIGHT HERON ON WILLOW BRANCH
Author: adminMay 8
Framed in an older dark wood frame with painted black sides. The backing appears to have been updated much later than frame. Size: 13″ by 13″ by. Visible image is 9.5″ by 9.25″. Condition: In very good condition. Print has no spotting or tears. If you look closely at the print, you can see a faint horizontal line about 1 from bottom of print. I think the print has a very faint fold line there that has been mostly pressed out, but because light catches the slightest variation in depth, it catches the eye somewhat. I needed my magnifier to see it. When I first noticed it, I thought it was a variation in the background wash color, which it may. Very difficult for me to determine. It does not appear as a solid crease. There is some toning to raw edge of mat. The frame has no chips to wood. A few small rubs to black paint toward back close to wall. From Wikipedia: Ohara Koson, Ohara Hoson, Ohara Shoson, was a Japanese painter and woodblock print designer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, part of the shin-hanga movement. Ohara Koson was famous as a master of kacho-e designs. February 9, 1877, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan. January 4, 1945, Tokyo, Japan. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Prints”.
