{"product_id":"child-yoshida-hiroshi","title":"Child - Yoshida Hiroshi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate Shin-hanga woodblock print by Yoshida Hiroshi, depicting a child holding a toy horse with soft, naturalistic shading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoshida Hiroshi was a central figure in the Shin-hanga movement, which sought to revitalise traditional Japanese woodblock printing by incorporating Western techniques of perspective, light, and shadow. This portrait of a child demonstrates his technical precision and his ability to capture a quiet, observational moment. The subject is rendered with a focus on naturalistic features, moving away from the stylised conventions of earlier Ukiyo-e prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe child wears a simple white garment, detailed with small, blue bird motifs on the pocket. In one hand, the child holds a small, wheeled toy horse. The background is a textured, mottled brown, which provides a neutral setting that draws attention to the figure. Yoshida uses subtle gradations of colour to model the child's face, creating a sense of volume and soft light that is characteristic of his approach to printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of his contemporaries who focused on dramatic mountain vistas or urban scenes, this work highlights Yoshida's interest in domestic subjects. The composition is balanced, with the child positioned slightly off-centre, creating a natural and unposed appearance. The print reflects the artist's meticulous process, involving multiple blocks to achieve the delicate tonal shifts in the skin and the subtle texture of the background. As a master of the medium, Yoshida oversaw every stage of production, ensuring that the final print maintained the quality of his original sketches. This piece offers a glimpse into the personal side of an artist known for his extensive travels and atmospheric depictions of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/katada-ukimido-from-the-series-eight-views-of-lake-biwa-ito-shinsui\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKatada Ukimidō, from the series Eight Views of Lake Biwa - Itō Shinsui — Itō Shinsui\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/snow-at-shinkawabata-hasui-kawase\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSnow at Shinkawabata - Hasui Kawase — Hasui Kawase\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshida Hiroshi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58568256782671,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58568379597135,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58568379629903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58568379662671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58568379695439,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58568379728207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58568379760975,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58568379793743,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58568379826511,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58568379859279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58568379892047,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58568379924815,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Child_Poster_CompositorV1_1787723216922.jpg?v=1787723502","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/child-yoshida-hiroshi","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
