Description
Water 107 Y-P.N.B.W. is a 2012 woodblock print in ink and color on paper, part of Yoshida's extensive Water series. By the 107th entry, the series has become an encyclopedic study of how mokuhanga can depict the substance most essential to its own process, since traditional woodblock printing requires water to transfer pigment from block to paper. The Y-P.N.B.W. suffix codes the specific variables of this impression. Yoshida prints water using water, a circularity that gives the series a conceptual depth beyond its visual beauty, each sheet carrying literal traces of the element it depicts.
