- Aomori Hirosaki-jo (Hirisaki Castle in Aomori) -

The breathtaking woodblock print "Aomori Hirosaki-jo" (Hirosaki Castle in Aomori) by Tomikichiro Tokuriki (1902–2000) captures a stunning spring view of Hirosaki Castle. Located within Hirosaki Park—one of Japan’s three most famous cherry blossom viewing spots—the castle is surrounded by a sea of delicate pink blossoms. The vivid red Shunyo Bridge contrasts beautifully with the soft spring scenery, while the blue sky, water, and fresh greenery complete this serene and vibrant composition.

The artist’s signature, “Tomi,” along with his red seal and the hand-signed name “T. Tokuriki,” appears in the lower right corner of the image. The Japanese title “Aomori Hirosaki-jo”, the date “Showa 58 nen” (1983), and the edition number 35/200 appear in the right margin. The watermark “Tomi” is located in the upper left corner.
