About this work

You see a single rabbit sitting on a flat surface, drawn in fine black lines. Hamaguchi made this print using drypoint—scratching directly into a metal plate so the ink catches in the rough edges, giving the lines a soft, fuzzy look. The rabbit feels quiet, almost like it’s holding still for a moment. There’s no background, so your eye stays on the animal’s shape and the delicate marks around it. To see more prints with this same careful, scratchy line, look up the technique called drypoint.
