## About Yasukazu Tabuchi

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.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Coverage varies by artist and should be evaluated against the cited sources and the object being appraised.
