Notes: Koh Sekiguchi captures everyday life in such beauty & happiness. In this print he depicts “Satoyama” - a traditional Japanese term used to express a rural settlement/village which typically borders forest & a site shaped by the sustainable & harmonious relationship its people have with nature. Sekiguchi depicts thatched farmhouses of a “Satoyama” village scene with children & their pooch playing against the forested backdrop of falling autumn leaves. Such beautiful & bright autumnal greens.
