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 - Handsome view of a traditional tiled-roof structure, framed by a bare willow tree at left. The rhythmic detail of the curved tiles and the lattice panels contrasts with the solid planes of the earth and sky, which provide a quiet space for the eye to rest. A terrific Sekino design, pencil signed and printed on "Jun. Sekino" watermarked paper.
