HIROSHI YOSHIDA: HIRAKAWA BRIDGE, WITH TOKU (SPECIAL) SEAL

By Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950), signed Yoshida and sealed Hiroshi
Japan, dated 1929

Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical oban. Signed Yoshida and sealed Hiroshi, Toku (special) seal to the left margin, further signed in Roman script to the outer-lower margin Hiroshi Yoshida. Title Hirakawa-bashi (Hirakawa Bridge), from the series Tokyo juni dai (Twelve Scenes of Tokyo), inscribed with the English title “Hirakawa Bridge” in Roman script to the outer-lower margin.

A solitary figure crossing Tokyo's arched, wooden Hirakawa Bridge under a glowing full moon, with weeping willow branches and clouds softly rendered in subtle tones.

SIZE of the sheet 39 x 26 cm

Condition: Good condition with bright colors and little browning to paper. Foxing along the perimeter of the image from previous mounting. Minor ink stains to the outer edges.

This print is distinguished by the rare toku (special) seal in the upper left margin, a mark used by Hiroshi Yoshida for select impressions of the highest quality, often presented as gifts to distinguished individuals or in gratitude. Such examples are seldom encountered at auction.

Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950) 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. Yoshida studied Western-style painting, winning many exhibition prizes, and making several trips to the United States, Europe and North Africa selling his watercolors and oil paintings. 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. While widely traveled and knowledgeable of Western aesthetics, he maintained an allegiance to traditional Japanese techniques and traditions.

Museum comparison:
Compare a closely related print, lacking the toku seal and with a jizuri seal, in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, accession number 52.1457.
