Description
An intimate domestic portrait in which the word "family" encompasses the full scope of daily life — parents, children, perhaps pets — compressed into a single composition. Sekino's family prints from this period have a warmth that distinguishes them from his more formal portraiture, the familiar faces of wife and children rendered with the ease of someone drawing from unguarded proximity. The image is personal in a way his public portrait subjects are not.
