This original Toshi Yoshida woodblock is an excellent example of why his works have been loved by collectors since the mid 20th century. Entitled "Plum Tree and Blue Magipie" it depicts an image of a long hanging tree branch covered in green moss with two small beautiful birds near the end and one on the ground. With its full margins all characters are easily legible in the left margin and pencil signature and title below with his chop lower right in the image. The colors are excellent with the bright gold / yellow background and the contrast of the three blue magpies. The condition is overall excellent but their is one small hole in the top right corner of the margin. The images provided accurately represent the quality, condition and aesthetic beauty of this rare woodblock.
