Tomikichiro Tokuriki (1902-1999)is best known for his shin hanga woodblock. This image of the "Plum Blossoms at the Kitano Shrine" is from the month series "Twelve Months of Kyoto" (Kyô-meishô jûnikagetsu), Published 1945 by Uchida in Kyoto. This is an original March print from the album, tipped in the original folder. Image area about 10" x 11.75". Nice shading of sky from dark to light color. Very good condition with no damage.
Wonderful use of color in this print. I'll be listing the entire series of 12. Note. Tokuriki was the 13th generation in a family of Kyoto artists. Kyoto was the old capital and always had a flourishing art tradition and of course lively circles of woodblock print artists. The Shin Hanga movement was a revitalization of ancient woodblock practices in a modern context. There was also a parallel Sosoku hanga creative movement in which the artist carved the woodblock and printed the pictures himself. Tokuriki was accomplished in both. |
