Haku Maki was an incredibly innovative printmaker, adding cement to the foundation of the printing matrix after cutting his woodblocks. This unique craft puts his work in conversation with contemporary printmakers such as Carol Summers (American, 1925 - 2016), or in tandem with Hiroyuki Tajima (Japanese, 1911 - 1984) who also used cement, or Glen Alps (American, 1914 - 1996) who used household paint additives such as ground walnut shells and Durham's Rock Hard Putty. Haku Maki's small prints from around 1960, like this one, were abstractions of Kanji characters. Using a thicker paper in 1963, helped captured the deeper embossing and accentuated the sculptural and textural qualities. His small prints are gems with dashes of color.

A humble, small piece, this work by Haku Maki is magical to me. It shows an amazing knowledge of the simple things. The embossing is subtle but complex and reminds us how much can be done just within the paper even before adding anything on top of it. The graphics are clear and uncomplicated but looking at the passages where the color opens to the white paper, or the richness of the indigo ink and shimmer of silver, there is so much to enjoy. A complex little poem in itself.
