Cool Breeze (Sofu)

Arts of Asia

1993

Yoshida Chizuko
Japanese, 1924-2017

Here, Yoshida Chizuko has combined woodblock printing with photoetching—an engraving technique—to show a lavender field moving in a cool breeze. Chizuko was interested in finding patterns in nature, and close observation enabled her to infuse her work with a sense of movement.
