Tokuriki Tomikichirō (1902-2000)‎ - Clear Weather after Snow at Ochanomizu, Tokyo from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji

Clear Weather after Snow at Ochanomizu, Tokyo

 from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji

by Tokuriki Tomikichirō, 1939-1940

This 31st print in the 36 print series, provides a view of Fuji beyond a bleak snow-covered street with only a trolley to be seen receding in the distance.  This print is published by Uchida Woodblock Printing Company between 1939 and 1940 as part of the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji.

Tokuriki's series was extremely popular with domestic and foreign buyers who purchased one thousand copies within a short time after issuance. Various prints from this series were re-printed in subsequent years and subsets of the thirty-six prints were repackaged into newly named series, such as Eight Views of Mt. Fuji and Four Season of Mt. Fuji, released in the 1950s.  Later printings omit the information in the margin, modify Tokuriki's signature and change the seals below his signature appearing in the image area of the print.
