Length: 18.5 inches. Height: 14.5 inches. This exquisite Japanese woodblock print captures a vibrant scene at Totsuka Station, one of the 53 stations along the historic Tokaido Road, which connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto. The print showcases traditional Edo period attire, with figures depicted in dynamic poses as they engage in conversation and prepare for their journey. The background reveals a picturesque village setting, complete with thatched roofs and a serene landscape, exemplifying the beauty of rural Japan during this era. The woodblock technique, a time-honored art form in Japan, involves carving intricate designs into wood, inking the surface, and pressing it onto paper. This method allows for multiple prints to be created from a single block, preserving the artist’s work and making it accessible to a wider audience.

34- Distant View of Fuji From Shinshu Kiyosato Station. From the series ; Thirty-six Views of Mt. 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 artists 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 1960s he opened several exhibitions of his works in major U. Cities such as, New York, Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. I’d rather do nothing but creative prints, but after all, I sell maybe ten of them against two hundred for a publisher-artisan print. The Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints.
