24 August 2010


One of my favorite artists is the Japanese woodblock print-maker Maki Haku (1924 - 1999). I recently bought the print you see here (titled Owl-A), and as I looked at it, I began to see a snow owl, at night, in a tree, waiting...

Winter night. New moon.
Snow owl waiting in silence,
Watching for movement.

  2. I found it at the Ren Brown Collection (online at http://www.renbrown.com/). The print really is in excellent condition. I was lucky in that respect.
