Description
The castle at Miya — more formally Nagoya Castle in present-day Nagoya — dominates the skyline in this woodblock, its distinctive gold-dolphin finials a recognizable landmark on the Tokaido. Sekino's castle subjects tend toward the architectural and the monumental rather than the romantic, the massive stone bases and whitewashed walls conveyed in compositions that emphasize geometric weight over feudal nostalgia.
