This is a set of beautiful oban-sized original woodblock prints by noted Kyoto printmaker Tomikichiro Tokuriki, and their original folder which has another oban sized print on the cover, which I believe (but am not 100% sure) is another oban sized woodblock print. The five prints inside the folder are in really lovely condition, still in their original inner folders, never framed. Each measures about 9.5 x 14" image size plus margins. The one on the cover measures about the same. |

He stayed in Kyotofor his entire career and was a leader of the Kyoto Sosaku Hanga. He graduated from the KyotoCity School of Fine Arts and Crafts and after that from the KyotoCity Specialist School of Painting. While he began his career in the painting field, he found his true calling in the woodblock print field and was enthusiastic about the reemergence of woodblock prints in 20th century Japanese art.
