Scenes of India and Southeast Asia by Hiroshi Yoshida from the 1930s

Hiroshi Yoshida traveled to India in 1930 and became so enamored of it that he told his children stories about it for the rest of his life. He made many paintings that show life before Partition, and published an untitled series of self-published prints on India and Southeast Asia in the early 1930s. His prints show scenes of major cultural heritage like the Taj Mahal , as well as more everyday scenes of markets and caravans. For some works Yoshida would create both a daytime and and evening version, using mostly the same blocks but different pigments.
