Munenori Makino (1 - Lilies (百合)

A vivid Japanese woodblock print titled “Lilies” (百合) by Japanese printmaker Munenori Makino (牧野宗則, born 1940).

Created in 1989, the work depicts blooming orange lilies against a deep purple and dark background. The strong contrast between the flowers and the atmospheric background gives the composition a particularly luminous and decorative quality.

Makino is a Japanese woodblock artist known for combining the highly refined techniques of traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printing with the expressive approach of modern creative printmaking.

This example is hand signed by the artist and bears the title, production year and edition number in pencil below the image.

Edition: 107/800

The original storage box also retains a label identifying the work as “百合” (Lilies), together with ED 107/800 and the artist's name 牧野宗則.

The work is presented in a wooden frame under glass and comes with its original cardboard storage box and yellow protective cloth. An artist biography sheet is also attached to the reverse of the frame.
