Yoshi Taka­hashi, born in Tokyo in 1943, stud­ied at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Fine Art Tokyo and at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts in Munich. In addi­tion to his teach­ing activ­i­ties (1973–1993), Taka­hashi cre­at­ed works on paper, can­vas and graph­ics. From 1974 onwards, he devot­ed him­self inten­sive­ly to print­mak­ing tech­niques. In his painter­ly and graph­ic col­or mosaics, the artist invites the view­er to enter gar­dens and dis­cov­er plants, ani­mals and hous­es step by step. Taka­hashi lived in Ger­many from 1966 and in Aus­tria from 1974. The artist died in Bad Reichen­hall (Ger­many) in 1998.
