Haku Maki (1924–2000) was the artistic name of Maejima Tadaaki, a Japanese artist and printmaker born in Ibaraki Prefecture. He is associated with sōsaku-hanga, the twentieth-century Japanese creative-print movement that emphasized the artist’s involvement in making the print. Public authority and museum records identify him under both Haku Maki and Maki Haku, while reference sources connect those names with Maejima Tadaaki. Collectors commonly encounter his woodblock prints and other works on paper, including compositions made with ink and color and pronounced embossed passages. A documented example, Poem 71-91 from 1990, illustrates the combination of woodblock printing and embossing associated with his work. Maki has dedicated artist records at institutions including the Museum of Modern Art and the British Museum, as well as identifiers in Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, and the Library of Congress. These records help distinguish his work across differing Japanese and Western name orders.

Common works and media

Auction and appraisal records are most likely to describe Haku Maki works as Japanese woodblock prints or works on paper. Documented techniques include ink and color on paper with embossing. Titles may include numbered or poem-related designations, but a title alone should not be used to infer an edition, series, date, or authenticity without supporting documentation.

Market and appraisal context

Appraising a work attributed to Haku Maki begins with confirming the artist identity, since records may use Haku Maki, Maki Haku, or Maejima Tadaaki. The work’s medium and technique also matter: a woodblock print incorporating color or embossing should be compared with records describing similar processes rather than with unrelated works on paper. Title, execution date, dimensions, and any documented series or variant designation can further narrow the comparison set. When public auction records are available, relevant realized prices and sale dates can provide market context, but they do not establish the value of another object by themselves. Individual condition, edition information, provenance, and attribution require object-specific examination and documentation.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Woodblock prints
  • Works on paper

Value drivers

  1. Documented medium and technique, including whether a print incorporates ink, color, or embossing
  2. Accurate identification across the names Haku Maki, Maki Haku, and Maejima Tadaaki
  3. Work date, title, and any documented series or variant designation
  4. Comparable public auction records, realized prices, and sale dates when sufficiently similar records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected material does not provide enough public lot-level detail to support a price trend or price prediction.
  • Auction results should be compared by work type, technique, dimensions, date, and documented identity rather than treated as a single artist-wide price level.
  • The available source pack does not establish edition details, condition, provenance, or authenticity for any individual work.
