Matsue Maiko

Matsue Maiko is a Japanese illustrator from Kyoto. She makes these wonderful cozy prints using traditional Japanese printmaking techniques. Their simple charm comes off looking quite like Czech or Swedish folk art combined with the primary colored boxiness of the Bauhaus. The horse at the bottom reminds me of a Swedish Dalecarlian horse. I really love it when you can see what the artist is influenced by so clearly, even though they have created something entirely new. These illustrations make me want to cuddle up on a picnic blanket in a field and watch yellow, red, and blue birds fly by.
