Description
A wider composition than Sekino's typical one-on-one figure studies, this print places a child among a cluster of villagers, suggesting a festival, market, or communal gathering in rural Japan. The boy's position within the group — whether integrated or marginal — gives the scene its narrative tension, Sekino interested as always in the individual's relationship to the social world around them.
