Japanese artist Hiroshi Yoshida

 My classmates and I went to Oxford last Friday.We went to three museums.It was very brilliant trip.I wanted to share Japanese culture exhibition at Ashmolean Museum.

 Before I introduced a Japanese Artist,my classmate told me a knowledge about painting.I was surprised. Ukiyo-e is one of famous art in japan.They used skills of woodblock to print colorful.Their topic included drama,life style and views.They had different style from kano school and とさは. Kano school is very huge in the art history of japan.

Hiroshi Yoshida’s artworks exhibits in the Ashmolean museum. He was a 20th-century Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker. Yoshida trained in western oil painting ,often used the same blocks and varied the color to suggest different moods..He visited many countries and conbined a new culture in his artworks.

Ukiyo-e influenced Impressionism a lot,such as colors and style,I believe that it is very important to Western countries.
