Description : Japanese Woodblock by Toshi Yoshida ‘Yodo River’ (1942, jikoku) A beautiful and peaceful river scene by Toshi Yoshida (1911-1995, son of Hiroshi) titled in both Japanese kanji as “Yodogawa” and English as “Yodo River.” Print is margin-dated “Showa 17,” or 1942 and bears a “jikoku” seal (top, left margin) indicating these blocks were self-carved by Toshi himself. Print bears artist’s block-signed signature. Circa likely 1990’s. Print has never been framed and is in absolute pristine condition. Absolutely wonderful “bokashi” (gradation of color) shading to the sky’s and water’s colors; very lifelike reflections seen in water. Great colors. Print is “chuban” size, the image itself measures 6 5/8 x 9" inches.
