Biography

Yoshida Yoshihiko was born in Tokyo. His real name was Yoshida Seijiro. In 1929, he began studying under Hayami Gyoshu, who was the younger brother-in-law of his cousin, Yoshida Kozaburo. His first work was accepted for the 24th Inten exhibition in 1937, and that year he began receiving instruction from Kobayashi Kokei. From 1940, he participated in the project to copy the murals of the Kondo at Horyu-ji, serving as an assistant to Hashimoto Meiji. He was drafted into the military in 1944, and after being demobilized and returning from Taiwan in 1946, he resumed work on the copies of the Horyu-ji murals. However, the project was suspended after the Kondo was destroyed by fire in 1949. In 1954, Yoshida returned to Tokyo from Nara. In 1957, he received the Encouragement Prize for Usuki Stone Buddhas, exhibited at the 42nd Inten exhibition. He subsequently received several more prizes at the Inten and became a member in 1964. After becoming a member, he remained active at the Inten and also taught for many years at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, training younger artists. From 1967, he participated in the project to reproduce the Horyu-ji Kondo murals as a member of the team led by Yasuda Yukihiko.
