Yoshida was part of the second generation to work in the woodblock medium. Both his father, Hiroshi Yoshida, and mother, Fujio Yoshida, were artists. He learned the woodblock technique in his father's studio and many of his earlier works are reminiscent of Hiroshi's work. However, Toshi Yoshida's personality and stylistic differences can be seen in his artwork. Compared to his father's work, Toshi's are more down-to-earth.
