Gôda Kiyoshi was a prominent modernist-style [[printing and publishing|woodblock prints]] artist of the [[Meiji period]].
Born in [[Edo]] on [[1862]]/5/7, Gôda first traveled to France in [[1880]] at the age of eighteen, intending to pursue agricultural studies. He ended up sharing a room with painter [[Yamamoto Hosui|Yamamoto Hôsui]], and becoming a woodblock print artist; he tried to encourage Hôsui to pursue prints as well. Though his family name was originally Tashima, at some point he adopted the name Gôda.
After his return to Japan, he taught woodblock printing at the Seikôkan<!--生巧館--> art studio/school he co-founded with Hôsui, while continuing to produce his own artwork, along with illustrations for newspapers and magazines. He also briefly worked as a teacher of French language at the Tokyo Fine Arts School.
He was a founding member in [[1896]] of the [[Shirabakai]] (White Horse Society) alongside [[Kuroda Seiki]] and a number of others.
