Description: Original Japanes woodblock print of leaves covering a pond at Jakkoin Temple. "Jakko-in, Kyoto". By 20th c. Japanese artist Junichiro Sekino (1914-1988). Biography from artelino: Junichiro Sekino was born in 1914 in Aomori prefecture as the son of a merchant of agricultural products. From an early age on Sekino studied printmaking and oil painting. The young Junichiro grew up in Aomori City together with Shiko Munakata. Munakata, who should later become the 'Japanese Picasso', might have been the artist who had inflamed the enthusiasm of the young Sekino for drawing and painting. In 1936 Junichiro Sekino won a prize at Bunten for an etching. Bunten was part of the official government controlled art scene with juries who decided on the admission of artworks. Being accepted to these official exhibitions, was quite some success. And winning a prize was an even more remarkable achievement by the young artist. In 1939 Sekino moved to Tokyo. He met and studied under Koshiro Onchi, the great mentor of the sosaku hanga art movement. During his art training Sekino had learned both, the Japanese woodblock method and Western techniques like etching. Although he had attended art training, Sekino was basically self-taught. His great paragons were the old Japanese and European masters - Sharaku, Hiroshige and Toulouse Lautrec, Rembrandt and especially Albrecht Dürer.Woodblock print on paper.Pencil signed Jun Sekino just below the red chop mark.Edition 81/128.Dated '70.Measures 18" x 26" image.Sheet size 21 5/8" x 29 1/2" sheet.Framed size 24 1/4" x 31 1/4".Good condition with light toning.Small hole in upper margin.A few scattered light spots.Please check out my other Japanese woodblock prints in my ebay store.
