Where

Where is a 1972 color woodcut — one of Yoshida's late abstract works — whose interrogative title refuses to locate the viewer within any identifiable space, creating an existential condition of spatial and perhaps philosophical uncertainty. Made when he was in his early sixties and looking back over a life of global travel and artistic experimentation, the "where" of the title may carry a degree of personal reflection: the artist who had sought his visual identity across the entire world asking, at a settled moment, where he finally stood. The abstract composition provides no orientating landmarks.
