Winter in Taguchi (Later printing by Toshi Yoshida)

Winter in Taguchi captures the mountain village of Taguchi under the deep snowfall of a Japanese alpine winter, the familiar forms of rooftops and trees buried under accumulation. This impression was printed later by Toshi Yoshida, Hiroshi's son, who maintained and printed from his father's original blocks with comparable technical mastery. The 1927 design demonstrates Hiroshi's gift for snow scenes: the white of the paper used directly for snow, the compressed tonal range of a winter landscape rendered through careful selection of the colors that persist when the world turns monochrome.
