Description
Kinae and Kinere are Ainu place names from Hokkaido, and Yoshida's print evokes the spare, wind-scoured landscapes of Japan's northern frontier. His jizuri self-printing technique allowed him to modulate tone with exceptional control, coaxing subtle gradations of light from the paper itself. The work reflects his abiding interest in Japan's geographic and cultural margins, places where the textures of land and sky reveal themselves with particular clarity.
