Below are images of twenty-four (24) various Japanese artists' woodblock prints my deceased father, Col. F. G. de Rox (1920–2010), purchased while stationed in Japan after World War 2 serving in the US Army.
For the background story about my father's time in Japan, please visit Paul Jacoulet Woodblock Prints to see my presentation page on French-Japanese woodblock print artist Paul Jacoulet, whose works my father also collected and which are also for sale. |

If you have interest in buying and/or questions about the collection displayed below, please contact me. — F. David de Rox |
My Father's Ukiyo-e Woodblock Prints Collection
NOTES:• Click the thumbnail image to view the original LARGE-SIZE PHOTO. • I have categorized the collection by artist for ease of organization and efficiency's sake so prospective buyers prefer to see the works of a particular artist collated. • Almost all the prints I have identified doing my own research, as my father did not leave behind an itemized inventory of his collection. Where I was unable to identify the title and/or artist, I have indicated this accordingly, and these appear last in the gallery. • I apologize in advance for mis-identifying any of these works, as I am not an expert in this genre of Japanese art, and therefore happily welcome corrections for any errors I made. • Where the artist is unknown, I have included mention of possible artists who may have produced the work as I sought out candidates coming close in their own works to these in my father's collection for which I could find no match among the various galleries, auction houses, and dealers' inventory I poured over in a vain attempt to find a duplicate image and so solve the mystery of their origin. • Should you know the artist and/or title for any of these "unknown" works, I welcome any information you may have so I may update this gallery accordingly.
