Farming Village in Spring 1909 - 1910

"Farming Village in Spring" (1909-1910) by Kamisaka Sekka is a beautiful depiction of a Japanese village in the springtime. The artwork showcases the artist's signature style of simplified forms and delicate colors. Cherry blossom trees are prominently featured, adding a sense of vibrancy and renewal to the scene. The stylized depiction of houses and a winding river further contribute to the overall tranquil and evocative atmosphere of the piece. This work is a prime example of Kamisaka Sekka's mastery of *shin hanga* printmaking, a style that emerged in Japan in the early 20th century.
