Yoshida Hiroshi (1876 – 1950) was a painter of western style oil paintings. His artistic talent was spotted by Yoshida Kasaburou, then he was taught by Koyama Shoutarou after he moved to Tokyo.
He is known as one of the most prominent modern style woodblock print artists together with Kawase Hasui and Itou Shinsui and he created many landscape prints with delicate shading and western perspectives.
This print is uniquely depicting a craftman painting lanterns and numerous number of lanterns. Simplified expression of the craftman comes from the rule in which many of painters usually depicted people in the wood block prints not in details but in a very simplified style. He must have followed this rule.
