Toshi Yoshida, "Kilimanjaro, Morning"

One of Toshi Yoshida's greatest masterpieces, this fitting homage to his travels in Africa is a highly prized design among collectors showing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The woodblock print is carved and printed with such precision and depth of color that it almost looks like a photo. It is said that Toshi used 16 woodblocks and 50 impressions to make one print. The popularity of this masterpiece led Toshi to print two variants in 1983, "Evening" and "Cloudy Day."
