UTA-E, 1934

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)

2 folios, Volume one has 2 color prints and 30 b+w sumi prints, volume two has 30 b+w sumi prints. An interesting design book of subtlety. The cords are largely missing a very good printing in the best condition we have seen of this fragile book. Cord-bound fukuro-toji Japanese style with the title printed on the covers. Complete.
