Toshi Yoshida Friendly Garden Woodblock Prints All 3 Pine, Bamboo And Plum trees
Toshi Yoshida Friendly Garden Woodblock Prints – All 3!!! Pine, Bamboo And Plum trees of the Friendly Garden, in beautiful, still in the original frames and matting! These have been in the family for many years and sadly its time for them to come to a new home where they can be displayed and enjoyed! There are in overall wonderful condition, however there a a few light scratches on the acrylic that covers the woodblock, and also some scratches on the wooden frames, all due to being moved and stored around the house over the years, and can be seen in the photos the Plum woodblock print has some tearing of the backing paper of the frame, which can be seen in the photos. These deserve to be enjoyed by someone passionate about Japanese Woodblock, and I can stand to see them not being hung up and enjoyed!! Beautiful, large format triptych depicting a garden with the “Three Friends of Winter, ” pine, bamboo, and plum. The trio of trees symbolizes steadfastness, perseverance, and resilience. At left, a tall pine towers over the garden pond, with stone slabs forming a bridge across the water below. In the center, a cluster of bamboo lines the walkway in from of a house.

The pond is surrounded with shrubs and trees, with a row of evergreens shaded in blue and snow-capped mountains in the distance.
