Glittering Sea

Hiroshi Yoshida was a 20th-century Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker. He is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the shin-hanga style and is noted especially for his excellent landscape prints. He traveled widely and was knowledgeable of Western aesthetics yet maintained an allegiance to traditional Japanese techniques and traditions. Attracted by the calmer moments of nature, he created woodblock prints that breathed coolness, invited meditation, and set a soft and peaceful mood.
