Description
Minoguchi — a small harbor settlement — appears in this woodblock as a study in the geometry of working waterfront architecture: piers, storage sheds, and boats organized by the logic of commerce and tide rather than aesthetic arrangement. Sekino's harbor subjects resist picturesque softening, finding beauty in the functional placement of industrial structures against water and sky.
