With the view of nature that he learned by entering the Miyama Yuya and the high technology that surprised Western experts, he delicately portrayed the flow of water and the transition of light.

This exhibition, which will be held at the 70th anniversary of the painter’s death, will bring together representative woodblock prints from the earliest days, as well as display woodblock prints and sketchbooks. Introducing the whole picture of Hiroshi Yoshida’s woodblock prints, which aimed at integrating print techniques. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the work of Hiroshi Yoshida, a painter who challenged the world and was loved by Princess Diana and Freud.
