Junichiro Sekino, 20th Century Master - Junichiro Sekino was one of the leading artists of the twentieth century sosaku hanga, or creative prints, movement in Japan, in which artists themselves were involved in every aspect of printmaking. Sekino designed, carved, and printed his images himself, gaining an international reputation for his amazing range of subjects and techniques. A true 20th century master, Sekino's works are included in major museum collections around the world. His woodblocks are highly collectible and sought after by modern print collectors.

Comments - Beautiful view looking out over a lake with mountains in the distance. Trees dot the gentle slopes in the foreground, and a boat makes its way across the water beyond. The mountains along the opposite shore as shaded in blue and blue violet, the water a lighter color near the shore. A lyrical landscape scene with beautiful color. Signed "Jun. Sekino," dated '81, and numbered 61/128 in pencil in bottom margin, and printed on watermarked paper. A great subject for a collector interested in sosaku hanga prints.
