This print is all black shapes on a light background. On the left, big bold forms look like tangled figures. To the right, smaller lines twist like vines or maybe people running. The colors are just black and a soft tan—no bright hues. The artist cut these shapes into a wood block. That’s why the lines are so sharp and clean. It’s called a *woodcut*. Look up Haku Maki next to see more of his bold, simple prints.
