Product code: 1950 buy Tomikichiro Tokuriki Midcentury Japanese Woodblock Print
Up for sale is this very neat Japanese woodblock print by the prolific Japanese printmaker, Tomikichiro Tokuriki. The print is titled, "Soba Vendor." Unlike most Japanese woodblock prints which depict nature or a famous landmark, this is a contemporary midcentury "slice-of-life" piece showing a noodle cart under the night sky. In my opinion, it's one of Tokuriki's best pieces. A very beautiful print. From my research, this print dates to around 1950. The print is framed under glass in a period frame. It appears to have been framed in the early 1950's as the framer's label on the back doesn't include an area code. The print is in excellent condition. I have not examined it out of the frame, but I don't see any noticeable wear. Frame has a fair amount of scuffing, and some minor paint loss. Appears consistent with age. Visible area of the print measures approximately 14 inches high x 9 inches wide. Frame measures approximately 19.75 inches high x 13.75 inches wide buy.
