Features: "As I climbed the mountain path, I recalled distant memories, or rather, the journey of my life from its beginning, step by step. Sometimes I paused, sometimes I took a wrong turn; sometimes I climbed the slope gasping for breath, and sometimes I joyfully walked along the well-trodden road. At other times, I climbed a long, dark, and cold slope, only to find a bright and sunny world at the bend. Tatsuo Yoshida recalled his artistic life with this very sentiment. Dialogue with the Landscape, this memoir of the first half of Yoshida's life, consists of two parts. The first part features selected works of the author's paintings, including over 30 beautiful artworks. The second part recounts his journey of artistic learning and creation in his early life, divided into twenty-two chapters. Reading Dialogue with the Landscape is, in essence, a dialogue between us and the author Tatsuo Yoshida in spirit and art."
