Label Text:After studying Western-style painting in Kyoto, Hiroshi Yoshida traveled to Europe and America to further his studies. In 1899 he won a cash prize for his first exhibition at the Detroit Museum of Art (now the Detroit Institute of Arts). He also exhibited his work at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.
For this hanging scroll painting, Yoshida used the traditional ink-wash sumi-e (“ink picture”) technique to create an almost Impressionistic, close-up view of the famous Mount Fuji. Though Yoshida worked as a painter until age 44, he is best remembered as a pivotal figure in the early 20th-century revival of the Japanese woodblock print.
