A dog lies sprawled happily on its back at the centre of this wonderfully large woodblock, surrounded by the small things that make up its day - a ball marked CATCH ME, a discarded collar, bone, empty food bowl and tiny duck toy! Yoshida leaves the background almost completely open, allowing the visible fibres and warm surface of the kōzo paper to become part of the image, while incredibly fine carved lines build the dog’s fur and patterned garment.A tremendously fun piece, and one of Yoshida’s most immediately appealing large-format animal prints.\u003c\/em\u003e 🐕🦆\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear \u0026amp; Edition: 2005 · Ed. of 30 (signed, editioned \u0026amp; dated in pencil).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium: Woodblock (板目木版), printed on kōzo paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Sheet H: 76.00 cm × W: 76.00 cm.

Yoshida turns an ordinary moment into a carefully arranged composition, scattering the dog’s possessions around the central figure while leaving enough open paper for the texture and fibres of the kōzo to remain clearly visible. Produced in an edition of only 30, it is one of Yoshida’s larger animal woodblocks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHideshi Yoshida (b.
