Onchi, Koshiro (Japanese 1891-1955), Side Gate of a Confucian temple in Formosa, 1936, woodblock printed in colors, 17 x 14 inches, stamped on the reverse with The Title, and artist as Oncki and printer as Sekino, When Sekino Jun'ichirô, who once owned one of Onchi's self-printed impressions and was asked to produce a small edition from which this example is part of (reported as either 12 or 20 impressions in various sources), he, too, explored the nuances of foreground sunlight and shadowed areas of the gate, accomplishing this in the spirit of Onchi's expressive printing, although in a brighter chromatic key. Sekino also shifted the dominant hue of all but the red gate toward blue, a surprise only if one fails to consider Onchi's frequent one-of-a-kind interpretations of the same designs (both realistic and abstract works) throughout his career, framed measuring 26 x 22.25 inches.
