Yoshida Hiroshi was one of the chief artists of the shin hanga movement, which revived ukiyo-e for the 20th century, with vividly colored prints of traditional scenes.

Yoshida trained originally in yôga (oil painting), and made efforts to normalize acceptance for paintings of nudes - a standard subject in Western art - in Japan.[1] In 1926, he shifted from yôga to print designs, joining publisher Watanabe Shôzaburô's shin hanga efforts.

His son Yoshida Tôshi went on to become a significant figure in the sôsaku hanga ("creative prints") movement.
