San Mon Ban (Rose)

"San Mon Ban" is a sosaku-hanga print by Maki Haku, created during the Showa period. This work demonstrates the artist's distinctive approach to abstract and calligraphy through the medium of Japanese woodblock printing.

Maki Haku created meditative abstract works that combined calligraphic forms with rich, luminous surfaces. His 'Poem' series explored the spiritual dimensions of written language through printmaking.

This print represents Maki Haku's contribution to the sosaku-hanga tradition during the Showa period. As with all works by this artist, it reflects both individual artistic vision and the broader cultural moment in which it was created. For collectors and admirers of Japanese printmaking, it offers a window into the sophisticated aesthetic world that produced some of the most beloved images in art history.
