Description
Published as part of the "Ichimoku-shu" (First Thursday Collection, Volume 2), the Japanese title "Yunoshima yuki" — snow on Yunoshima — describes the hot-spring island of Yunoshima in Gifu Prefecture under winter snowfall. The contrast between thermal springs and winter snow was a subject Japanese artists found endlessly productive, the warmth of the earth emerging through cold weather. Sekino's version, distributed through the collective portfolio, demonstrates his mastery of snow composition.
