Produced in Japan using the traditional Japanese printmaking technique (ukiyo-e), the artist challenged the typically minimalist, black-and-white approach to haiku illustration. While many of the works in the portfolio employ the lively colors and patterns of Synchromism\u2014an art movement MacDonald-Wright founded in 1910 seeking to apply color theory to music and rhythm\u2014others are more contemplative, while still retaining a connection to abstract modernist optics.",
