As a young artist he became deeply interested in traditional ukiyo-e woodblock techniques and learned from professional printers including Fumihiko Ogawa, Setsutarō Matsumoto and Shigeru Sasaki. Importantly, Makino eventually performed the traditional three stages—designing, carving and printing—himself, rather than relying on the traditional division of labor between artist, carver and printer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis early works, including Kaeri Michi, are stylistically quite different from the brilliantly colored nature prints for which he later became known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis career subsequently became quite substantial.
