The show takes hanakotoba, the Japanese language of flowers, as its frame. Sekino’s prints of cherry blossoms, pansies, sunflowers, peonies, roses and daffodils each carry a symbolic meaning, from fleeting beauty to devotion and love. He draws, carves and prints every work himself, using hard cherry wood blocks and layering ten or more impressions in water-based ink. Gold leaf pressed into wet ink gives the outlines and backgrounds. A single print takes about three months. Sekino is the son of the sōsaku-hanga printmaker Jun’ichirō Sekino.
