Fujikawa- Tokaidô

Fujikawa – Tōkaidō by Jun'ichiro Sekino (mokuhanga, year unknown) depicts a low, close-up view of a stubbled gray field cut through by a dense band of black grass or hedge, with a white two-wheeled cart resting on its side in the lower right corner. Beyond the black band, a row of thatched and gabled farmhouses sits against a plain gray sky, fronted by strips of mustard-yellow cultivated field and a single tall pole. The palette is limited to gray, black, and ochre, giving the composition a flat, graphic, quiet rural mood, with the artist's signature "J. Sekino" and a red seal in the lower right.
