"65 - 7" from 1965 continues Maki Haku's exploration of embossed woodblock technique, the year-number titling system establishing the work's precise place in his chronological catalog. By 1965 he had refined his embossing process to the point where the raised surface could carry color, shadow, and textural complexity simultaneously — the print functioning as both a color field and a low-relief sculpture. This work belongs to a productive mid-decade period when his international reputation was beginning to grow.
