Two Japanese woodblock prints by noted sosaku-hanga artist Toshi Yoshida (Japanese, 1911 - 1995). One is "Sacred Grove" (1941) and the other "Half Moon Bridge" (1941). Pencil signed by Yoshida. Yoshida's approach in these two works is different from traditional woodblock prints in his use of more subtle changes in color and shading, and a more naturalistic style. Both prints are matted and framed. Not examined out of frames. Excellent condition, good colors. Minor wear on frames. Measurements: Sacred Grove - 7 1/2" wide by 10" tall (as matted); 11 13/16" wide by 14 1/2" tall by 7/8" deep (framed). Half Moon Bridge - 10 1/4" wide by 7 1/2" tall (as matted); 14 5/8" wide by 11 7/8" tall by 7/8" deep. Provenance: many pieces in this collection were purchased by the collector from Toshi Yoshida himself.
