The seals are authentic not printed, and they are original Maki seals from well-used chops.

Haku Maki did a wide range of works: prints of many sizes, book plates, greeting cards, and postcards. Here are four postcards that he did in 1999.

In 1976 Haku Maki did three pairs of prints in which the black and white were reversed. One set is shown here.

These are strong sweeping images in rather large prints. The two Wind images here are typical of the type. They are all about 15" x 20" and in editions of 150.
