Odawara, from the New Fifty-three Stations, depicts the castle town that served as a gateway to the Hakone mountains. Sekino's Tokaido project spanned from 1959 to 1974, making it an extraordinary testament to sustained artistic commitment. Expect to pay $300-$1,200, with early impressions in pristine condition at the high end.
This 1961 color woodblock of Odawara — the castle town at the foot of the Hakone mountains — belongs to Sekino's "New Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series, which revisited the classic highway subject with a contemporary eye. Odawara's castle, rebuilt after wartime damage, looms over a town that had experienced both historical drama (a famous siege in 1590) and modern reconstruction, and Sekino's depiction navigates between these temporal layers.
