Description:
Comments - Fantastic and rare original painting of Mt. Fuji viewed from the lake side of Hirano village. This lovely design was created by Tokuriki for the oversized woodblock print published by Uchida in the 1950s (see image below). The sacred mountain is seen through a row of bare winter trees along the shore of the lake. Especially interesting are the outlines of other trees visible below the surface, an effect called pentimenti, where the artist has changed the initial composition but traces of it still remain. The painting is accompanied by two copies of the large format woodblock print made from it, offering fascinating insight into the process of translating an artist's original painting into a traditional Japanese woodblock print. An exceptional and rare opportunity for a collector to acquire both the original painting and two examples of the print resulting from it.
