| Toru, son of the wood carver, Mabuchi Rokutaro, was born in Tokyo in 1920 and graduated from the craft design section of Tokyo School of Fine Arts in 1941. Member and judge of several art associations. Represented at Tokyo International Print Biennale in 1962. Taught at Hiroshima University. His plates are sometimes composed of many small pieces of thin wood adhered like mosaics. Toru's prints often deal with subjects such as landscapes, still life, haniwa, or pottery. The first three prints you see below are from the estate of renown woodblock print collector Robert O. Muller, who sadly passed away in 2003. The prints are all in near-pristine condition.
