(Munakata hanga aizen hin)

"(Munakata hanga aizen hin)" — "Munakata's printed works, treasured things" — may be a print for or from a publication or exhibition of Munakata's work rather than an independent artwork: a frontispiece, colophon page, or portfolio cover for a publication documenting his prints. Such works blur the boundary between artwork and paratext, the printed mark of the artist's hand providing a trace of personal presence within a documentary context. Whatever its specific function, it carries Munakata's carving and bears the title's assertion that these prints are treasured things.
