About This Print
Looking so much like the zinc rooftops of Paris, the title on a label accompanying the print tells us it is "Rainy Antwerp." Sekino traveled extensively through Europe, leading to a number of atmospheric prints of the cities he visited. A wonderful marbling technique (perhaps the grain of the wood?) is used on the walls of the houses.
While this print is from an edition of 200 prints, I came across the below print from an edition of 20 advertised for sale by Art Shop Ezoshi in their November 2010 catalog.
