Haku Maki Signed Woodblock Print – Persimmon (Sosaku Hanga) – Limited Edition w/ Original Box! This piece features a minimalist persimmon composition with rich black background and raised (embossed) branch detailing-one of Maki’s most recognizable subject styles. From a private collection; no additional provenance or history is available. Hand-signed in pencil by the artist. Appears to be marked “92-15″ (likely 1990s series). Original artist seal (chop mark) present. Includes original storage box with handwritten identifiers on side of box (shown). &####127909; Video included showing close-up detail, surface condition, and embossing texture under light. In the video the original paper packaging box has some excess fraying hanging over the black frame on the piece. It’s kind of an illusion. However, the frame on the piece and the picture are in great condition. It comes from a climate controlled and smoker’s free environment. Print presents beautifully with no major issues observed. Embossing is clearly visible. Frame and mat are in good display condition. Original box shows some wear from storage. Please review all photos and video carefully. Frame: 17″ x 14″. Visible artwork: 8.5″ x 8.5″. This is a great example of Haku Maki’s work-ideal for collectors or anyone looking for a clean, modern statement piece.

He was born in Oakland, California in 1879. He studied art at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art (San Francisco), and at the Partington Art School (San Francisco). Their plan was to stay a year and work for an advertising agency creating material to promote tourism. They fell in love with the islands, and it’s people, and stayed permanently. The Kellys immediately identified with the native Hawaiians and became their champions in images and in print. John produced etchings and aquatints, primarily of human figures, though he occasionally did landscapes as well. John Melville Kelly died in Honolulu in 1962.

Signed seal in red in Japanese Kiyoshi–Excellent impression, color and condition! 11½ x 17 5/8in. 29.3 x 44.9cm. Kiyoshi Saito was born in Fukushima prefecture. At the age of five he moved to Otaru in Hokkaido, where he would come to serve as an apprentice to a sign painter. Saito became infatuated with art after studying drawing with Gyokusen Narita and moved to Tokyo in 1932 to study Western-style painting at the Hongo Painting Institute. He began experimenting with woodblock prints and exhibiting his works with Nihon Hanga Kyokai in 1936. Saito mainly worked in oil painting until his invitation from Tadashige Ono to join the Zokei Hanga Kyokai in 1938, at which time Saito made the woodblock print his primary medium. He worked with the Asahi Newspaper Company in 1943, where he met Koshiro Onchi. This chance encounter led to an invitation to Ichimokukai and membership to Nihon Hanga Kyokai in 1944. Saitos printmaking career was put on hold due to the war. In 1948, Saito exhibited at the Salon Printemps, an event sponsored by Americans for Japanese Artists. At the Sao Paulo Biennale of 1951, Saito won first place for his print Steady Gaze. In competition with Japanese oil painting and sculpture, this was a turning point for Japanese printmakers: for the first time in Japanese history, prints overtook painting. This achievement roused the Japanese art establishment. In 1956, Saito was sponsored by the State Department and the Asia Foundation to travel and exhibit around the United States and Europe. As a sosaku hanga artist, Saitos prints are self-drawn, self-carved and self-printed. His early works are distinguished by an attention to realism and three-dimensionality. As his style evolved, his prints became flattened and two-dimensional, featuring strong and refined designs with color and texture. Black matte faux bamboo frame 22 x 17 1/2 in. With silver black edge matte. Too many items to list but will update with new items as time allows. Sorry for the inconvenience.
