Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | Beautiful original color woodblock print by noted Japanese printmaker Tomikichiro Tokuriki. The print is in very nice condition, never framed. I believe it dates from the mid-1950s. It measures about 11 x 9.5" paper size; printed on a shikishi card, with gold border, a very lovely presentation. Great color and impression, and a really nice image. This is one of a small group of prints I purchased from a collector in Tokyo; each is brush signed on the back of the shikishi card by the artist, and sealed with his red seal. Thus a true first edition print (later printings did not have the brush signature), and quite rare. Note that the signature varies in size, placement and shape, from print to print, as you would expect from hand signatures; they are not stamp "signed", but true original brush signatures. |
