I checked the Uchida Art Co. website some time ago. Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, it does not list the historical inventory numbers for the prints that it published in the forties and fifties (or, for that matter, any other decade). Moreover, the website is rather general, and does not begin to list all of the print designs Uchida currently publishes, let alone designs that have been discontinued. The answer, I fear, lies with someone lucky enough to own a Uchida catalog or sample book from the 1950s or 1960s. (I'm not particularly interested in information on the later designs.) A collector of Tokuriki's prints or one of his followers might be able to shed light on this question.
