Mount Yoshino, Japan's most celebrated cherry blossom mountain, is depicted in Tokuriki's Historic Places series with the thousands of sakura trees that have drawn poets and pilgrims since the Heian period. The mountainside blanketed in pink and white blossoms is one of the series' most colorful compositions. Published by Unsodo, prints typically sell for $50-$200, with the universally appealing spring subject ensuring consistent demand.
Mount Yoshino — the mountain south of Nara celebrated since antiquity for its cherry blossoms, and historically associated with the Southern Court of Go-Daigo during the period of the competing imperial lines — is Tokuriki's subject in this print from his "Famous Historic Places and Holy Places" series. Yoshino's cherry blossoms — said to number over thirty thousand trees — create one of Japan's most spectacular seasonal landscapes, the mountain's slopes entirely pink in the brief flowering period. Tokuriki renders the mountain with awareness of both its natural beauty and its historical weight.
