Description
Issued in 1964 as edition 35 of 36, this rare hybrid print combines color lithography with a relief block and hand coloring — a technically ambitious fusion that illustrates Sekino's refusal to be confined by medium. The image pairs a wide-eyed child with a large rabbit, a subject Sekino returned to in multiple works, drawn to the gentle comic drama of a small person in close encounter with an animal nearly as large as themselves.
