The Great Buddha at Kamakura receives a standalone treatment separate from the Sacred Places series, with Tokuriki focusing on the monumental bronze statue's serene expression and imposing scale. The Daibutsu is one of Japan's most visited landmarks, and prints of the subject appeal to both art collectors and travelers. Publisher editions typically sell for $50-$250, one of the most affordable options for this iconic subject by a recognized artist.
The Great Buddha at Kamakura — Kotoku-in Daibutsu — is rendered in this standalone Tokuriki print, the colossal outdoor bronze figure depicted with awareness of the vast scale that makes it such a powerful presence in the Kamakura landscape. The seated Amida Buddha, over thirteen meters tall and visible from great distances among the surrounding forested hills, creates a compositional challenge for printmakers: how to convey scale while retaining intimacy and spiritual quality. Tokuriki meets this challenge with his characteristic combination of warmth and formal clarity.
