Key value factors: For living or recently deceased artists, limited edition size and gallery representation drive value. Signed and numbered prints from smaller editions are most desirable.
Touches W5-M.G.C., a 1988 color woodblock, occupies an early position in the W-series branch. The M.G.C. suffix points to yet another combination of materials or methods within Yoshida's coded system. Created the same year as W1-M.A.K., this fifth entry suggests that the W-series developed quickly once initiated, with multiple prints produced in rapid succession. The proximity of creation dates means the prints share ambient conditions: the same season's humidity, the same batch of pigments, the same state of the woodblocks. These shared circumstances make the coded differences between entries all the more revealing.
