Notes: The performance platform of Kiyomizu temple in a rainy day. There is a popular saying in Japan when a person makes an important and daring decision; or taking a risk, "Kiyomizu no Butai kara Tobi-oriru" (Jumping from the performance platform of Kiyomizu). It has been kept in the famous publisher in Kyoto, The Uchida Family, archives |
Pair landscape woodblock prints by listed Japanese artist Tomikichiro Tokuriki (1902-99). A prolific artist with many auction records. This pair have image sizes of roughly 12" x 15". They have been attached to old backing paper which served as the backing piece of a matte folder. Can't be sure of age but the backing paper is quire brittle. The prints themselves are bright and clean. They have been attached to the paper by tiny glue spots in the upper corner. |
