Jack Levine practiced art as a weapon of social concern. Throughout his career he developed his skill as a graphic artist, and in the older media of etching, aquatint and lithography. In the late 1960’s he made numerous sketches on a trip to Japan, and from these he produced this 1970 portfolio edition with text by James A. Mitchner, who in addition to his prose was well known for his vast collection of Japanese wood block Prints.
