“Kyoto Famous Places – Woodblock Print Shikishi” by Tomikichiro Tokuriki
This collection of woodblock print shikishi (square-format art boards) features famous views of Kyoto by Tomikichiro Tokuriki (1902–2000), a renowned modern Japanese print artist.
Born in Kyoto, Tokuriki dedicated his career to preserving and developing traditional Japanese woodblock printing while incorporating modern artistic sensibilities. He was especially known for his elegant depictions of Kyoto’s temples, streets, and seasonal landscapes.
These small-format prints capture the charm of the ancient capital through delicate lines, harmonious colors, and the distinctive warmth of woodblock printing. The works reflect Tokuriki’s deep appreciation for Kyoto’s history, architecture, and changing seasons.
