Benkei brug 1945

"Benkei brug" (1945) is a woodblock print by Jun'ichiro Sekino, a Japanese artist known for his evocative depictions of traditional Japanese landscapes. The artwork captures a serene scene of a bridge spanning a calm body of water, surrounded by lush greenery. The bridge, with its ornate railings and lantern-like supports, is the focal point of the composition. The artist's use of muted colors and delicate lines evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, typical of the shin-hanga style. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Sekino's mastery of the woodblock medium.
