Seki station, from the New Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, features this post town near the Suzuka Pass in Mie Prefecture. The series represents the pinnacle of Sekino's landscape printmaking. Market values range from $300-$1,200, and collectors actively seek individual stations to build partial or complete sets.
This 1969 color woodblock of Seki, the forty-seventh station on the Tokaido in Mie Prefecture, belongs to Sekino's "New Fifty-three Stations" series and depicts one of the old highway's most historically atmospheric posts. Seki was famous for its intact row of machiya post-town buildings — among the best preserved on the entire route — and Sekino's print likely centers on this architectural heritage as the station's defining visual identity.
