		•Hiroshi Yoshida's "Self-Printed" Woodblock Prints November 21, 2001 - May 2002
			This exhibit features nine woodblock prints by Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950), a leading figure in the shin hanga (new print) movement. Traditionally, Japanese prints were produced by a publisher who was an instigator, financial backer, coordinator, and seller. Artists were paid by the publisher for sketches to be made into prints, after which they had little or no involvement in the process. Contrary to this practice, and inspired by Western artists and printmakers, Hiroshi Yoshida directly supervised and often participated in the printing of his works from beginning to end. For this reason, each of his prints bears the "self-printed" jizuri seal.
