Work 406

Catalog number 406, this 1975 woodblock print belongs to the same productive year that produced the "My Space and My Dimension" series. The "Work" prefix in the title is more neutral than the philosophical declarations of the "My Space" series, suggesting a composition that Funasaka presented on purely formal terms without the framing of personal spatial investigation. The numbered "Work" titles allow the compositions to be identified and discussed without imposing interpretive direction, leaving viewers free to engage with the geometric forms on their own terms. The 1975 date and low 400s catalog number place this in the middle phase of Funasaka's career, when his command of the geometric woodblock idiom was fully established but his output had not yet reached the thousandth work. The print likely features the clean edges, flat color planes, and spatial ambiguity that characterize his mid-decade production.
