Note:
This print depicts the famous stone garden in Ryoan-ji, a Zen temple in Kyoto. This garden was constructed in the early seventeenth century, and is denoted by its simplistic beauty, which consisted of several stones set on a flat plot of white gravel.
Sekino found his personal idiom in the use of sharp, clear forms and lines, and his works consisted of landscapes, portraits, and still lifes.
