Hiroshi Yoshida's Collected Works of Art and Writing: I Am With the Beauty of the Mountains

Hiroshi Yoshida, a master of modern landscape painting, was also known as a mountain painter, as he climbed high mountains himself and depicted the beauty of the mountains that he felt with his whole being. This book features a selection of his masterpieces of mountain painting, mainly prints and oil paintings, along with the artist's own words about the allure of mountains. Through the paintings and text, readers can also learn about mountaineering practices from 100 years ago. While delicately expressing the beauty of cliffs, valleys, foothills, and forests unique to Japanese mountains, he also depicts the majestic grandeur of mountains in other countries. The overwhelming sense of realism invites readers into the sublime world of alpine beauty.
