Description
The station of Yoshida on the Toyo River in Aichi Prefecture appears through the willows beside a private estate — the trees' trailing branches creating the soft, water-reflective atmosphere that made willow subjects a staple of Japanese landscape art. Sekino's willow compositions use the tree's distinctive hanging form to create a curtain of fine lines that his woodblock cutting can render with a delicacy contrasting with his more typical bold strokes.
