About the print
In Japan the narcissus (suisen) is a winter flower. It blooms from December into February, when little else is in flower, and is traditionally used in New Year arrangements. It has a long history in Japanese painting and flower-and-bird subjects, and it counts as a seasonal emblem of the cold months.
Tokuriki Tomikichirō came from a Kyoto family of painters serving the Hongan-ji; he was its twelfth generation. He became one of the leading figures of modern Kyoto printmaking and founded the publishing house Matsukyū after the war. Next to his landscapes and Kyoto views, he made flower subjects in a decorative style that draws on his training in traditional painting. The same design exists with a printed signature only. This impression is signed by hand in pencil.
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.
