Description
The station of Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture — today a significant industrial city — appears here through the image of its factories at morning, the smokestacks and industrial buildings of the city's manufacturing sector silhouetted against the early light. Sekino's willingness to depict industry as landscape reflects his sosaku-hanga commitment to the contemporary world as subject matter, without the nostalgia that marked some of his peers' approaches to the Tokaido.
