Toshi Yoshida Biography.
Japanese woodblock prints have a long, treasured history. In many ways, they are very representative of Japanese art, but they are also much related to the history of Western art. These two different sides of the world developed unique ways of exploiting the medium. Eventually, they met and influenced each other. Out of this collaboration, modern woodcuts can take pieces of both traditions, melding them into a harmonious whole.
Toshi Yoshida is a contemporary Japanese artist who does just this. Through his body of work, this melding effect is seen very readily, and one terrific example is Lioness B, from the larger woodcut, Peaceful Wild Animals.
