Also known as
Yasse Tabuchi, Tabuchi Yasse, 田淵 安一, 田淵安一
Yasukazu Tabuchi (1921–2009), also catalogued as Yasse Tabuchi and 田淵 安一, was a Japanese artist born in Kokura, now part of Kitakyushu. He worked in France from 1951 until his death and developed an abstract practice across painting, watercolor, copper engraving, lithography, and ceramics. Authority records identify him as a painter and ceramicist, while Wikidata specifically describes him as a Japanese lithographer. This breadth helps explain why collectors may encounter his name on paintings, works on paper, prints, and ceramic objects. His identity appears under several Romanized and Japanese name forms, so connecting Yasukazu Tabuchi with Yasse Tabuchi is important when reviewing collection catalogues and auction records. The collected public evidence establishes his life years, cross-border career, and principal media, but provides limited detail about named series, recurring subjects, or affiliation with a particular abstract-art group.

Common works and media
Collectors may encounter paintings, watercolors, lithographs, copper engravings, and ceramic works attributed to Yasukazu Tabuchi. The source pack identifies abstraction as his artistic context but does not establish recurring subjects, named series, print edition sizes, or the relative auction frequency of each medium. Catalogues may list the artist as Yasse Tabuchi or under Japanese name forms, so those variants should be checked when matching a work to collection and sale records.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal should begin by confirming the artist's identity across the Yasukazu and Yasse name forms, then identifying whether the object is a painting, watercolor, lithograph, copper engraving, or ceramic work. Its date may also matter when placing it within Tabuchi's France-based career after 1951. Available public auction records can support comparison when the lots match in medium, work type, and period. The collected source pack does not include detailed lot descriptions, realized-price evidence, or a major auction-house biography, so it does not support a price trend or forecast. Object-specific evidence and closely comparable public sales are more informative than the artist-level record count alone.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Paintings and watercolors
- Lithographs and copper engravings
- Ceramics
Value drivers
- Medium and work type should be matched carefully because Tabuchi worked across painting, watercolor, lithography, copper engraving, and ceramics.
- A work's date and its relationship to Tabuchi's France-based career beginning in 1951 can provide relevant cataloguing context.
- Identity matching should account for records catalogued under Yasukazu Tabuchi, Yasse Tabuchi, Tabuchi Yasse, or Japanese name forms.
- Comparable public auction records should be narrowed to genuinely similar media, work types, and dates rather than relying on the artist-level record count alone.
Appraisal caveats
- The source pack includes an Appraisily auction-record signal but no fetched lot-level descriptions or realized-price details.
- No major auction-house biography or sale page was available in the collected pack, so the market classification remains general.
- The collected evidence does not support a price trend, scarcity claim, or price forecast.
