Description:
Thursday, 22 January 2009 Should be Yabase, not Yabashiri! This auction is for a portfolio of T. Tokuriki woodblock prints "The New Eight Views of Oomi". When I looked at the prints before the estate auction started, all eight prints were present. However, when I placed the winning bid and later opened the portfolio again, only 4 of the original 8 were inside. The ones still present are: #1. The Yabashiri in Early Spring #2. The Evening Scene of Hama-Oosu #5. The Lake Biwa viewed at Miidera Temple #6. The Pine Trees of Shinkarasaki Each print is numbered on the back and excluding the paper matting measures approx. 10 1/2" x 11 1/2". Each one is signed and in excellent condition. The back of the portfolio has a label stating the names of the prints, the artist, and the engraver/printer (Uchida Woodblock Printer of Kyoto, Japan). The portfolio shows only a little wear along the seams. It measures approx. 15" x 13".
