- Fujimi Kogen no Fuji (Mt. Fuji from Fujimi Highlands, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji) -

The beautiful woodblock print “Fujimi Kogen no Fuji” (Mt. Fuji from Fujimi Highlands), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji, is by Tomikichiro Tokuriki (1902–2000). The composition features Mount Fuji rising in the distance beyond a dark band of trees, with a solitary birch tree standing prominently in the foreground. Cultivated fields stretch across the lower portion of the composition, while the expansive blue sky and layered clouds enhance the sense of openness and distance. The cool blue tones and broad landscape create a quiet, atmospheric view of the Fuji Highlands.

Published by Uchida in Shōwa 15 (1940), this is the first edition. The right margin includes the Japanese title, artist’s name, and publisher’s name with copyright seal. The upper left of the image features the artist’s signature “Tomikichiro saku”, together with two red seals. The upper seal incorporates the Mt. Fuji emblem and “36-kei,” referring to the Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji series, while the lower seal is the publisher’s seal.

Condition: Overall, in good to fair condition for its age, with colors that remain vibrant. This print was acquired as found from an old estate in Japan and retains its original folder and small original explanatory sheet in Japanese. The print shows age toning, along with a visible window line corresponding to the opening of the original folder. There are a few extremely faint small spots on the front, including the image area, as well as on the verso. The spots on the front are hardly noticeable to the casual observer, while those on the verso are visible. The folder itself shows considerable age-related staining and foxing throughout. Due to these condition issues, the price has been reduced accordingly. Please refer to the photographs for details.
