Fujimori Shizuo (藤森 静雄; August 1, 1891 – May 28, 1943) was a Japanese woodblock artist associated with the sōsaku-hanga (creative prints) movement. His style was strongly influenced by Expressionism. Fujimori was born in 1891 in Kurume, Fukuoka prefecture. He studied Western-style art (yōga) with the Hakuba-kai ("White Horse Society") in 1910, and the next year enrolled in the Tokyo School of Fine Arts from where he graduated in 1916. At the school he met Onchi Kōshirō with whom he collaborated on Tsukuhae ("Moonglow"), a print and poetry magazine, producing 37 prints. He studied yōga with the Hakuba-kai ("White Horse Society") in 1910, where he met Kyokichi Tanaka, and the next year enrolled in the Tokyo School of Fine Arts from where he graduated in 1916. Fujimori also studied with the yōga painters Kuroda and Fujishima, but drew his inspiration from Aoki. In March 1916, during his formative years, he made a self-portrait in the yōga manner that shows a competent mastery of the academic style taught at the school, a figurative realism markedly different from the radical expressionist designs he was exploring alongside Onchi and Tanaka for Tsukuhae. At the school he met Kōshirō Onchi with whom he collaborated on Tsukuhae, a print and poetry magazine, producing 37 prints. In 1919 he contributed to the first exhibition of the Japan Creative Print Association (Nihon Sosaku-Hanga Kyokai). After a period teaching in Fukuoka and Taiwan, in 1922 he moved to Tokyo to pursue a career as a professional artist in the fields of painting, printmaking and illustration. He worked as editor of Shi to hanga, was a contributor to many other publications, and was a founding member of the Nihon Hanga Kyōkai in 1931. Working once more with Onchi, and with Ōtsuki Kenji, he also founded the art magazine Naizai in 1921. After a period teaching in Fukuoka and Taiwan, in 1922 he moved to Tokyo to pursue a career as a professional artist in the fields of painting, printmaking and illustration. Throughout his career Fujimori contributed to several dōjin zasshi (coterie magazines), including Shi to Hanga (1922–25), Kaze (1927–28), Bijutsu-han (1932–34), Han Geijutsu (1932–36) and Kasuri (1934–36), and was a founding member of the Nihon Hanga Kyōkai in 1931. He provided thirteen prints for the seminal sōsaku hanga series One Hundred Views of New Tokyo (Shin Tokyo hyakkei) of 1929–32, and produced his own series, Twelve Views of Great Tokyo (Dai Tokyo Junikei), in 1933–34. He returned to live in Iizuka in 1939, and died on 28 May 1943, the year after the sudden death of his eldest son.

Hiroshi Yoshida (吉田 博, Yoshida Hiroshi; September 19, 1876 – April 5, 1950) was a 20th-century Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker. Along with Hasui Kawase, he is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the shin-hanga style, and is noted especially for his landscape prints. Yoshida made numerous trips around the world, with the aim of getting to know different artistic expressions and making works of different landscapes. He traveled widely, and was particularly known for his images of non-Japanese subjects done in traditional Japanese woodblock style, including the Taj Mahal, the Swiss Alps, the Grand Canyon, and other National Parks in the United States. He was known as a mountain painter (山岳画家) in Japan and spent about half of the year on sketching travels. He was particularly fond of mountain landscapes and painted many of them, founding the Nihon Sangakugaka Kyōkai (Japan Mountain Painting Society, 日本山岳画家協会) in his later years. As a mountaineer, he climbed the mountains of the Japanese Alps every summer and created his large paintings and woodblock prints after returning home.
