"Prints by Munakata: Treasured Things" (Munakata hanga aizen hin) appears to be a portfolio or publication of Munakata's collected woodblock prints rather than an individual artwork — a documentation project that gathered his work under the banner of "treasured things," the collector's term for objects held with particular devotion. Such portfolios were significant in the mid-century Japanese print world, serving both as records of an artist's output and as collected objects in their own right, the gathering of prints into a bound volume creating a new kind of object from the individual works.
