Collection of 21 original woodblock prints by Haku Maki (1924-2000), in a complete first edition, deluxe printing of “Festive Wine: Ancient Japanese Poems from the Kinkafu”, 16/150, 1969. This set is from the famous Juda Collection of sosaku hanga prints.
Each print measures approximately 12 3/8 x 9 1/2 inches, plus margins, and is pencil signed, titled and numbered 16/150.
The prints are displayed in the book under paper mats, which cover the margins, since we could not easily scan the prints with the margins without risking damage to the mats.
The book was translated into English, with an introduction, essay and commentaries by Noah Brannen and William Elliot. Published by Walker/Weatherhill: New York & Tokyo. The red background frontispiece, shown in the upper left of the group photo, was only included in the first edition of this set.
It is in very good condition, and comes with the original wooden slipcase, shown in the bottom left corner of the group scan.

Original Japanese woodblock print by Ohara Koson (1877-1945), titled " Northern Lapwing on the Branch of a Willow Tree (one leg raised)", c. 1910. This design is illustrated at plate K22.5 of "Crows, Cranes and Camellias”, the seminal reference for Koson’s work.
The image measures approximately 13 x 7 1/8 inches. It is in very good condition, aside from some trimming. It is from an album of kacho-e (bird and flower prints), which appears to have been put together in Japan before 1920.
