Touches W1-M.A.K.

Touches W1-M.A.K. is a 1988 color woodblock that introduces the W prefix to the Touches series, possibly indicating a shift in paper type, block wood, or printing approach. The M.A.K. suffix codes the specific material variables of this impression. Yoshida's naming system, while opaque to the casual viewer, serves a practical purpose: it allows her to trace any print back to the exact conditions of its creation. This systematic record-keeping transforms each print from a standalone artwork into a data point in an ongoing investigation of what happens when carved wood presses pigment into fiber.
