Biography Munakata, Makka (1913 - 1995)

Born in Aomori, Munakata Makka was influenced by Munakata Shikô (no direct relation) and by Hiratsuka Un'ichi. He started making woodblock prints in 1941, contributed to Hiratsuka's two portfolios Kitsutsuki hangashû in 1942 and 1943, and exhibited widely, also outside Japan after WWII. He had yearly solo exhibitions.
He was a founding member of the Banga-in in 1952, after he had become a member of the Nihon Hanga Kyôkai in 1946. In the late 1950s a controversy developed about the possibility of membership to more than one print society, and in 1960 he resigned from the latter society.
