Black granite on wooden pedestal
One Stroke Circle by Nobuo Sekine, created in 1974, is a sculptural piece that embodies the artist’s meditative approach to form and material. Crafted from black granite and set on a wooden pedestal, the circular shape features an abstract, yin-yang-like void within, suggesting balance and duality. The textured surface and carved lines within the circle add depth and invite contemplation of its minimalist beauty. Sekine, a key figure in the Mono-ha movement, often emphasizes natural materials and simple forms to evoke a connection between the physical and the conceptual. This work resonates with themes of harmony, space, and the fluidity of perception.

It involves creating artworks by sculpting the land or constructing structures in the landscape using natural materials like earth, rocks, or twigs.
