Three prints

This work—identified simply as Three Prints—likely refers to a triptych composition or a grouped presentation of three separate but related woodblock prints issued together as a set. The triptych format has deep roots in Japanese printmaking, from the monumental figure compositions of the Edo period to the extended landscape panoramas of Hiroshige and Kunisada. Sekino's use of a multiple-sheet format would allow him to extend a compositional idea across a wider surface or present three thematically linked subjects as a unified object. Alternatively, the designation may describe a bound or mounted set of three smaller prints from a specific portfolio. Without greater specificity in the title, the subjects remain undetermined, but the format signals an interest in the relationship between individual image and sequential or grouped structure—the way meaning accumulates across a set rather than residing in a single sheet. The work demonstrates Sekino's engagement with print as both autonomous object and element within a larger organized series.
