Snake Animal Song by Haku Maki
PRIVATE COLLECTION
Details
Snake by Haku Maki (Japan, 1924-2000). This is a rare Haku Maki Embossed Woodblock Poem from the Animal Song collection he did in 1968 as a commission by the Red Lantern Gallery in Kyoto. He did only 50 prints of each of the 12 animals of the zodiac and this one is the SNAKE. Each is his depiction of the animal name in Kanji. The cobalt blue of this piece is striking! Haku Maki has hand signed and numbered the print 2/50.
From an estate in Carmel CA.
Size: 15" x 15"
Condition: Good. There some very small light stains around the white edge outside the print itself but other than that, it is in lovely condition. It is not framed. It appears to have never been framed or attached to any kind of backing.
Artist: Haku Maki
