## About Tomikichiro Tokuriki

Tomikichiro Tokuriki (1902–2000) was a Japanese artist, printmaker, painter, and author associated with Kyoto's twentieth-century print revival. Authority records connect him with both Sōsaku-hanga and Shin-hanga, while another biographical source places his painting within a Nihonga context. His documented work includes color woodblock prints on paper, and the collected institutional object record identifies a Mount Fuji landscape from a series of thirty-six views. Tokuriki also wrote about woodblock printing and published works concerning the Tōkaidō, reinforcing his place within the study and practice of Japanese print culture. Collectors may encounter his name under different romanizations, including Tomikichirō Tokuriki and Tokuriki Tomikichirō, as well as the Japanese form 徳力 富吉郎. These identity variants matter when matching signatures, catalogue entries, library records, and auction results. His combination of printmaking, painting, landscape imagery, and published scholarship gives collectors several contexts in which attributed works may appear.

## Common works and media

The source pack most clearly documents color woodblock prints on paper, including Japanese landscape imagery and a Mount Fuji view from a thirty-six-view series. It also connects Tokuriki with Tōkaidō subjects and publications about woodblock printing. Authority and biographical records identify him as a painter as well as a printmaker, so paintings may also appear in appraisal contexts. For editioned prints, the inscription, signature, publisher information, dimensions, date, condition, and attribution should be recorded before selecting comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should begin by separating woodblock prints and other works on paper from paintings or objects assigned to broader auction categories. The most useful comparisons share the same medium, dimensions, approximate date, subject, edition characteristics, and attribution status. Condition, restoration, signatures, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can also affect how a work compares with public results. Appraisily's matched records provide a market reference, but the available category labels are broad and should not be read as a definitive catalogue of Tokuriki's output. Public auction results do not capture every private transaction, and reporting practices may differ among auction houses. Authentication and direct condition review remain necessary for an individual valuation.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and attribution changes may not be represented.
