| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
Offered for sale is a wonderful, pencil signed Japanese woodblock print by Toshi Yoshida (1911-1995). It is titled Shinjuku, and is dated 1938 in the margin in Japanese. The Shinjuku district of Tokyo is a lively spot at night; filled with restaurants and now known for its electronics stores. Toshi Yoshida is the eldest son of Hiroshi Yoshida, one of the preeminent shin hanga school masters, and in the last few years since his death, has finally been achieving the recognition that bypassed him during his lifetime.
This print is in very good condition, with no condition issues to note. The image measures approximately 9 5/8 by 6 3/4 inches, plus margins.
Recently, many posthumous Toshi Yoshida designs have been offered for sale. This print is guaranteed to be a PENCIL SIGNED, lifetime edition, and therefore more valuable!!

Toshi Yoshida was the eldest son of Hiroshi Yoshida.
Like his father he undertook extensive travels all over the world. His trips took him to the U.S.A., Canada, India,
Africa, Australia and even to Antarctica. Most of his print subjects are focused on landscapes or animals depicted in a realistic style.
After the death of his father Hiroshi Yoshida, he even experimented in abstract art for a while but returned to realistic landscape prints.
