Description

This work documents the woodblock print process itself — a subject of considerable significance given Yoshida's unusual position as both designer and printer of his own jizuri editions. The print process involves successive applications of color through carved wooden blocks, each impression building on the last, and Yoshida's intimate knowledge of every stage informed the exceptional technical quality of his finished works. A print depicting the process carries a self-referential quality, the medium turning its attention to its own making.
