"Silent Gardens" Woodblock Prints by Yoshida Toshi (1911-1995)

Silent Gardens- Yoshida Toshi


In 2010, Travis Simpkins put the Museum in contact with collector, Paul Falcigno, who subsequently donated over 300 Japanese prints to the collection. As a result, The Worcester Art Museum can now claim the distinction of having the largest collection of naturalistic works by Yoshida Toshi in the U.S.

This small exhibit, Silent Gardens, features the "White-line Series" of woodblock prints by Yoshida Toshi (1911-1995).
