Yoshida Tsukasa (son of Toshi)

Yoshida Tsukasa, the son of Toshi Yoshida and therefore the grandson of Hiroshi Yoshida, appears here as the subject of a family portrait that spans three generations of Japan's most distinguished printmaking dynasty. The Yoshida family — Hiroshi, his wife Fujio, their son Toshi, and Toshi's children — constituted one of the most remarkable continuous artistic traditions in twentieth-century Japanese art. This print connects the family's legacy to its next generation, the young Tsukasa representing the continuation of craft knowledge passed down through direct family transmission.
