About the print
Tokuriki Tomikichirō was the twelfth generation of a Kyoto family of painters attached to the Hongan-ji, and one of the key figures in modern Kyoto printmaking. He trained at the Kyoto City School of Fine Arts and the Kyoto City Specialist School of Painting, graduating in 1924. He turned to the woodblock in 1929 under the influence of Hiratsuka Un'ichi and became a leader of the sōsaku hanga (creative print) movement in Kyoto. He also designed shin hanga landscapes for the wider market, and Mount Fuji was a subject he returned to throughout his career, including in a 1941 set of Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji. After the war he founded his own publishing house, Matsukyū, which published his work and that of other artists and trained a generation of carvers and printers.
Seller's Story
I've been collecting Japanese woodblock prints for quite a while now — everything from classic ukiyo-e to shin-hanga and sōsaku-hanga. What started as a personal passion eventually turned into something more, and these days I source prints from auctions, galleries, and private collections across Japan and Europe.
With growing worldwide interest in Japanese woodblock prints, gallery prices have been climbing steadily. My goal is simple: offer high-quality, authentic prints at reasonable prices. I'm picky about what I sell — I look for pieces that have been stored properly, kept flat, and are free from serious foxing, stains, or damage.
I'm based in Germany, which means EU buyers won't deal with any import duties or taxes. For US buyers, original artworks under HS code 9702 are duty-free as well. And wherever you are, I pack everything carefully with multiple layers of protection so your print arrives safely.
If you have questions about a piece, just reach out. You will get access to contact me once you've won an item from my lots.
