Tokuriki's Thirty-six Views of Fuji - In his fantastic "Thirty-six Views of Fuji" series, Tokuriki illustrated the beauty and majesty of Mt. Fuji, Japan's sacred mountain. The great peak appears at dawn and sunset, in rain and snow, from far away or dominating the horizon, but always as a serene symbol of the beauty and power of Japan. Tokuriki's wonderful landscapes illustrate traditional Japanese views, yet with a distinctly modern sensibility. At Fuji Arts, we’re excited to be able to offer a lovely Tokuriki group from his masterwork "Thirty-six Fuji" series. These are original first edition woodblocks, published between 1939 and 1940 by Uchida. 

From the Uchida Publisher Archives - We were fortunate to purchase a wonderful collection of 20th century prints directly from the archives of the Uchida Art Company of Kyoto. The classic 20th century prints offered in our auction from this collection are all first edition prints of various designs released by the Uchida company in the mid-20th century. These first edition prints are unusual to come by in a nice group as they were generally sold off as they were produced. This excellent collection was held back and recently sold from the Uchida archives. These prints are a nice opportunity to collect a lovely 20th century print, or perfect as reasonably priced gifts. Don't miss out on these prints, once they sell out, we won't have them again!
