Starting with the Fountains of Earth series in 1956, Japanese artist Yoshida Masaji changed colour and form, making the definite indefinite with his new style and method of making woodcuts. The shapes and their interplay hint at dark depths, and the colours, printed onto thick paper to create blot and areas of blend, were revolutionary. Precise imprecision in shape and shade, the subtle prints, and new geometries all play a part in this collection named as if an artwork in a lost Masaji series. With exclusive hand-designed prints, dyes, bold silhouettes, gathering, soft crinkle silk and voluminous drape, this is a collection set within the best Masaji tradition of invention.
