Description

"Hantou-74" — the number suggesting a series identifier or date component — demonstrates Maki Haku's systematic approach to titling, using numbers to organize a large body of work without imposing descriptive language. The term "hantou" (半島) means peninsula in Japanese, but in his abstract context it may function as a formal rather than geographical reference — a shape that projects into surrounding space, half-separated from a larger whole.
