Description:
This is a a gorgeous Japanese woodblock print of what appear to be pieces of a puzzle, by noted sosaku hanga printmaker Haku Maki. It measures about 10 1/2 x 7 1/2 plus margins. Excellent color, impression and condition. It is framed in a very attractive Japanese-style wood frame. I have not taken it out of the frame, but it was clearly expensively framed, using acid-free materials and high quality moldings. (The frame is in very nice condition as well, with just a couple of very minor scuffs, ready to hang.) Heavily embossed printing gives the print a three-dimensional quality. The colors are deeper and richer in person, as the glass tends to wash out the colors during photography.
