Creating wooden sculptures of bicycles, hotdog carts, and more, Yoshimura often described his work as the "ghost" of objects -- removing their humanity through his use of an unconventional medium. His work is currently in the permanent collection of various museums on the East Coast, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
