I am working on “face series“ that depicts
various aspects of human facial features.
I created 50 works as “face series” of late
years.
The method is a multi-color woodblock print
using handmade Japanese-style paper. In
accordance with my (Yoshiko Fujita) taste, this
work is made by multiple-printing method. The
woodblocks consist of those cut with knife and
those processed with adhesive agents using
the cut blocks. Then using the block printing
and application of this Mino-washi (very thin
Japanese paper) as a finishing layer. I used
kite strings to draw a simple form of a face.
when I create the FACE series-works, I pay
enough attention to forms of the eyes. I intend
to create several facial expressions such
as humor, mischief, prayer, anger, love and
temptation with the eyes Indeed real emotion
surfaces to the eyes. The eyes are so honest
that it is impossible to hide the real intention.
what is the expression in these pieces?

viewers have only to feel as they like. This is
my wish in presenting these pieces.
