Description
Sekino's son Jumpei — twelve years old at the time — stands with the family rooster in a print that occupies the intersection between domestic portraiture and the boy-and-bird subject the artist made distinctly his own. The specificity of the subtitle ("Artist's son, Jumpei, aged 12") elevates the work from type to individual: this is not a generic child with a generic bird but a particular moment in a particular life, preserved in woodblock.
