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. 

Rain at the Fourth Station, Yoshidaguchi - Interesting depiction of a street scene in Korea, with the Taedongman Gate of Pyongyang Castle towering above the rooftops in the center. At lower left, a farmer carries a load of produce on his back, while another man leads a donkey or pony laden with bundles. Just to the right, two older men have a conversation near the wall of a courtyard. At left, a mother carries a baby on her back. In the center, a large tower rises above the rooftops. Rendered in a very painterly style with soft color reminiscent of a watercolor painting. An attractive design, published by Kyoto Hanga-in.
