"Incres-2" — likely an invented or transliterated title rather than a Japanese word — suggests Maki Haku's interest in sound-images and the arbitrary relationship between verbal signs and visual forms. His use of non-Japanese titles in some works reflects his international orientation and his sense that abstract visual art required a language that transcended cultural specificity. The print belongs to a category of his work where the title functions as a marker rather than a description.
