Maki Haku, born Maejima Tadaaki, began making prints in the 1950s. For much of his career, he focused on a limited selection of themes, including an exploration of Sino-Japanese calligraphy. Often he focused on the abstraction of a single character to bold, graphic effect. To achieve the deeply embossed, rugged texture of many of his works, Maki used a series of labor-intensive steps to produce a relief print with deep dimension and tactility; these involved freshly mixed cement paste, custom stencils, and several passes through a rolling press.
