## About Hiroshi Yoshida

Hiroshi Yoshida (1876–1950) was a Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker closely associated with shin-hanga, or the New Print movement. Museum and library authority records also identify him as Yoshida Hiroshi, Ueda Hiroshi, and 吉田博. He is especially recognized for landscape imagery, combining Japanese woodblock-print methods with subjects encountered both in Japan and during extensive international travel. Institutional collections document prints depicting the Taj Mahal, bamboo woods, mountain scenery, and other landscapes, while accounts of his work also identify subjects such as the Swiss Alps, the Grand Canyon, and United States national parks. Collectors therefore encounter Yoshida through a varied body of scenic prints rather than through one geographic subject alone. His standing as both a painter and print artist is important when identifying works, although woodblock prints form the most visible part of his public museum and auction presence. Careful title, inscription, medium, and edition research helps distinguish specific impressions and related works.

## Common works and media

Collectors most commonly encounter Yoshida through works on paper, particularly woodblock prints. Documented subjects include Japanese and international landscapes, Taj Mahal views, mountains, bamboo woods, the Swiss Alps, the Grand Canyon, and American national parks. Paintings also belong to his practice. For any print, the title, inscriptions, edition details, dimensions, paper, color, and condition should be recorded before selecting auction comparables.

## Market and appraisal context

Works attributed to Hiroshi Yoshida should be compared with auction records sharing the same medium, approximate dimensions, date, subject, and edition characteristics. For prints, signatures, inscriptions, edition information, surface quality, margins, color, and overall condition can affect how closely one result compares with another. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, restoration, and attribution confidence also deserve review. Public auction data offers useful evidence from dated sales and comparable lots, but it is not a price guarantee: private transactions may be absent, feeds may be incomplete, and reported totals may treat buyer premiums differently. A defensible appraisal should therefore use several closely matched records and examine the object itself.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research from museum and authority sources with matched public auction records. When available, the market view incorporates auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, images, and comparable lots; private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
