Japanese Print by Tomikichiro Tokuriki
A lovely Japanese woodblock print, "The Lake Motosu in Early Spring", featuring Mt Fuji in the background. Tokuriki (1902-2000) was a well known Japanese artist popular in the fifties for his beautiful woodblock prints in subtle pastel colors. He continued an unbroken chain of family artists going back to the sixteenth century.
Image below shows print on light-weight paper with light-weight paper mat on light-weight board. Print is lightly held in place on 2 spots on reverse of print...no damage to print. There is good bleed-through, image clearly visible on the back of the print.
This print is part of a set, "The Eight Views of Mt. Fuji", engraved and printed by Uchida Woodblock Printer, in Kyoto, Japan.
