| Artist Bio: |
| Collectors often find it difficult to distinguish between the paintings of Arugi Yoshida and her brother-in-law, the far more famous Hiroshi Yoshida. However, careful examination of the painting's signature will allow consistently correct classification. There are several salient differences between their signatures, the main one being Hiroshi never signed his paintings using a curly 'Y' for Yoshida. The right leg of Hiroshi's 'Y' is always straight, and for 'A' Yoshida it is always curly. I've analysed dozens of Yoshida paintings and there are other differences, but the curly 'Y' is a dead giveaway for Aguri. Yoshida (as is the distorted first character, always a clearly defined 'H' in the case of Hiroshi). Aguri Yoshida almost always used all-caps (all upper case characters) for her watercolour signature, whereas Hiroshi only rarely used all-caps, thus if you have a Yoshida painting with a signature that uses a mix of upper and lower case characters you most likely are the lucky owner of a Hiroshi Yoshida painting.
