Kamisaka Sekka
UTA-E, 1934
2221
1 volume, cloth, ribbon bound covers, paper label. 25 color full page images after designs by Sekka. As Sekka's last work, it crowns his remarkable career with a lovely evocation of Kôetsu's Saga-bon. (For more on this important work, see Hillier's description on p.976 of the second volume of his ART OF THE JAPANESE BOOK.) The condition is much better than average, with relatively little of the offsetting from the prints to the poems that is usual in this book. The printing is very good, the colors striking. It is a very good copy overall. Housed in the original titled and clasped chitsu case which shows general soiling all over, with some folds starting and one small chip; and the title label is chipped near the bottom. One volume (complete)
