Named after master shin-hanga printmaker Hiroshi Yoshida, the meticulously hand-crafted Yoshida frame is an ideal setting for the art of the block print. The Basic Yoshida features pinned through mortise-and-tenon joints accented with delicate pillow-shaped inlaid square plugs in either ebony or the same wood as the frame. Also available with blind tenons (No. 1200).
On the standard Yoshida the short sides are 1″ wide, while the long sides are 3/4″ wide, accentuating the format of the print (particularly appealing on pieces with elongated proportions). Other widths are available.
See bottom of page for variations.
