I also have another of this artist work which is a much larger size and I will be listing this shortly Yoshida was born in 1924 in Ikeda CityJapan He studied art before those studies were interrupted by the war. Selected for training as a kami-kaze pilot, as part of the Special Attack Squadrons of the Japanese Naval Air Force, Yoshida was extremely lucky to survive.Yoshida threw himself into his art again and devote himself to a sustained exploration of the life-affirming forces that he had seen so nearly extinguished. In 1964, Yoshida moved to Paris. He trained with the renowned English artist Stanley Hayter, and worked for many years at Hayter’s well-known studio Atelier 17.
