Description
A 1952 color woodblock portrait of Onchi Koshiro — the master of twentieth-century Japanese printmaking who mentored Sekino and is considered the founder of the sosaku-hanga movement — rendered with the formal dignity that Sekino reserved for artist-subjects he held in particular esteem. The print captures Onchi's characteristic intensity: the face of someone who has devoted an entire life to expanding the possibilities of ink on paper.
