Junichiro Sekino (1914-1988) Japanese, Woodblock Print, Portrait of the Artist's Son. Junichiro Sekino was a prominent member of Japan’s Sosaku Hanga (“creative printâ€) movement and became known for his remarkable versatility as a painter, graphic designer, and woodblock printmaker. Raised in Aomori alongside future master printmaker Shiko Munakata, Sekino studied both oil painting and printmaking from an early age. In 1936 he received a prestigious Bunten award for his etching work, and after moving to Tokyo in 1939 he studied under Koshiro Onchi, one of the founders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino mastered both traditional Japanese woodblock techniques and Western printmaking methods, blending the two into a highly adaptable artistic style that ranged from figurative to abstract compositions and from monochromatic to richly colored works. During World War II he worked in an ammunition factory as artistic production in Japan largely ceased, and afterward he struggled financially while creating book illustrations. His fortunes improved in the 1950s, beginning with a successful Tokyo exhibition in 1953, and his works soon entered major international collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Invited to the United States in 1958 by the Rockefeller Foundation and the American Japan Society, Sekino went on to travel and teach internationally, later joining Kobe University in 1965.
