Description
"Ine 5" — the numerical suffix suggesting this is the fifth in a series of prints depicting the subject "Ine" — may refer to rice plants (ine in Japanese), or to the small coastal village of Ine in northern Kyoto Prefecture, famous for its distinctive funaya boathouses where houses extend directly over the water. The numbered designation suggests Sekino's methodical approach to certain subjects, working through variations with the systematic attention of a musician exploring a theme.
