Born in Fukuoka. Yoshida Hiroshi first studied under Tamura Soritsu in Kyoto, and later went to Tokyo to join the Fudo-sha group of Koyama Shotaro. He went on to become a member of the Meiji Art Society. In 1902 he set up the Taihei Yoga Kai. He received the first prize at the inaugural Bun-ten, and that work was purchased by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture. From then on he continued submitting to public exhibitions, and eventually went on to judge them. In 1920 he published his first woodblock print. He traveled Japan and regions of Europe and Asia to sketch, and many of these sketches were used for his print work. In his later years he founded the Japan Mountain Painting Association. He frequently painted mountainous landscapes from inside and outside of Japan.
