Tree 74 I.

Tree 74 I., a 2012 woodblock print in ink on paper, belongs to Yoshida's Tree series, which turns from abstract material investigation toward organic subject matter. The tree becomes a meeting point between Yoshida's interest in natural forms and her commitment to mokuhanga's material specificity. Printed in ink rather than color, the work relies on tonal range rather than hue to build the tree's presence. The number 74 places it deep into a long sequence, suggesting Yoshida has returned to the tree subject repeatedly, each iteration discovering new aspects of how carved wood can render living wood.
