Description
Japanese Woodblock Print, c.1950 self published by Uchida, sealed, signed in the block
SIZE IN INCHES: shikishi, 10 x 11 inches
TOKURIKI TOMIKICHIRO'S (1902-2000) art is an important bridge between the two great movements of Japanese art in the early twentieth century; shin hanga and sosaku hanga. Like the classic shin hanga masters of the day, Tokuriki designed many woodcuts of landscapes and city views in the traditional manner. Yet he actively promoted sosaku-hanga (creative prints) in Kyoto, which emphasized the artistÂ’s participation in the entire process of printmaking and the exploration of more modern styles and trends.
After WWII Tokuriki set up his own publishing company called Matsukyu and began to teach block-carving to artisans and artists, many of them foreigners. He also wrote extensively on the technique of woodblock carving and printing. He traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe and in the 1960Â’s he opened several exhibitions of his works in major U.S. cities such as, New York, Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
