Description
Village of Yuge, a woodblock print by Jun'ichiro Sekino, shows a thatched-roof house with dark wooden walls at dusk, tall grey-plumed grasses bending across the foreground. Behind the roofline, dark conical trees stand against a deep red-orange sky, with a smaller reddish tree at the right edge near the eaves. The palette is dominated by muted greys and blacks, with the warm sky providing the only strong color contrast in an otherwise quiet, still scene.
