Maki Haku (1924–2000) is the artistic name of Maejima Tadaaki, who was born in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. He was a sōsaku-hanga artist in 20th Century Japan. Haku had no formal art training, but studied for two years with the sōsaku-hanga artist Onchi Kōshirō. Two unique qualities of Maki Haku artwork are the textures achieved by working the designs in wet cement and the use of Kanji (Chinese characters) as design motifs. He distorted and rearranged the strokes of Chinese characters to produce striking and serene images. This particular piece was purchased pre-1968 and originally hung in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass.
