The striking plates represent some of Korin's most interesting work. They remain bright and fresh. As described, volume one (only) of two. SOLD

53. [EHON - Design Book] Yamada Unsodo, publisher. MOMIJI. Kyoto: Yamada Uns“d“, Meiji 44 [1911]. Orihon, with printed paper covers over boards, printed paper title labels.

55. [Ehon] Hashimoto Okiie, artist. NIPPON NO SHIRO. Tokyo: Kato Hanga Kenkyu–sho. Sh“wa 19 [1944]. 29.2 x 21.1 cm. String-bound Japanese style, in a printed dustwrapper. 13pp. text, woodcuts. This study in words and woodblock prints of 12 of the most famous feudal era castles in Japan is a remarkable testament to the resiliency of the Japanese creative impulse, even in the midst of the Pacific War. The scholarly text is by Kishida Hideto and the twelve double page colour woodblock prints were designed by Hashimoto, here revelling in the subject he knew and loved best. This is a lavish and very well printed production on good paper which covers Chiyoda Castle in Tokyo, Osaka Castle, Hirosaki Castle, Okayama Castle, Matsuyama Castle, Himeji, Kochi, Ogaki, Oyama, Nagoya, Komoro and Hikone Castles. String-bound fukuro toji Japanese style. In the printed dust cover, wrapped in the original printed washi paper. Save some very slight internal foxing which doesn't effect the plates, this copy is about as fine as one is liable to find and the prints are very fresh. [See Hillier 1044,5] SOLD

56. [EHON] Kawamura BUMP , artist. BUMPO SANSUI GAFU. 25.7 x 16.8 cm. The one volume edition listed in Mitchell 228,9, published by Yoshid Shimbei in 1824. Our copy has the characteristic bamboo printed covers, and printed paper title label. 30 double page landscape illustrations in ink and light colors. In good condition with covers that are a bit worn. This copy is distinguished by the fact that it comes from the collection of the famous and elusive Louise Norton Brown, author of the first exhaustive overview of the field of ehon, with her stamp. SOLD

57. [EHON] Kawanabe GYOSAI, Artist. Tsuuzoku ISOPPU MONOGATARI. Tokyo: Inada Sahei, Meiji 8 [1875] (Meiji 5-8). 6 volumes. Hanshibon, blindstamped patterned yellow paper covers, string-bound Japanese-style, fukuro-toji. The interesting and increasingly hard-to-find translation of Aesop's Fables into Japanese from the English version of Thomas James. Illustrated throughout in b+w (without the grey block) woodcuts by the famed artist Kawanabe Gyosai, the illustrations based on the English original. (For more on this work, see Scott Johnson's article). Good impressions, very good condition, save that the printed paper title labels of volumes 1, 4 & 6 are missing. Enclosed in a modern clasped chitsu box, complete: SOLD

58. [EHON] MIKI Tei-ichi & TAKAHASHI Goro. NIHON KOKON MEIKA ZUKAI Dai Ni-hen. SHORT BIOGRAPHIES OF EMINENT JAPANESE IN ANCIENT AND MODERN TIMES EACH WITH A CHARACTERISTIC ILLUSTRATION. Tokyo: Kyushundo, Meiji 20 [1887]. String-bound Japanese-style, fukuro-toji. 2 printed paper title labels [one English, one Japanese]. 25 x 17.6 cm. Tri-lingual text (Japanese, Chinese and English) and 10 double page color woodcuts of Japanese historical figures by Yoshitoshi, Gekko, etc. The colors and impressions are quite nice. The second series of what was projected to run to ten, though we weren't able to ascertain whether the project was completed or not. Very unusual and interesting. SOLD

59. [EHON] Miura Senshun. MINO KIKAN. Mino-ken, Meiji 13 [1879]. 2 vols., complete. Each volume string-bound Japanese- style fukuro toji, with original cream silk covers and printed paper title labels. In what appears to be an original clasped case covered in matching silk. Extremely unusal thus. Vol.1 has a title page on the inside front cover, 7 prefatory sheets by three separate authors and 36 sheets of text, illustrated by Ikeda Takahiro in color woodcut [7 double page and 5 single page]. Volume 2 has 3 final sheets and a colophon, preceded by 33 sheets of text with 4 double page and 1 single page illustration. See Mitchell p.417. The prints depict cormorant fisherman and their gear, landscapes, famous sights, etc., etc. - the stock and trade of the meisho-ki genre, here depicted with grace and delicacy. The overall quality of the production demonstrates the high level of work the provinces were capable of - particularly interesting in light of the generally low level of printing during the 1870's. In very good condition inside and out, the coloring and impressions are excellent. 2 vols, complete: SOLD

60. [EHON] Ota Saburo, artist. ASA GIRI Tokyo, Meiji 45 [1912]. 2 volumes, string-bound Japanese style, 19.1 x 13 cm. Each volume contains 35 color prints with a facing page of text. The prints appear to be a hybrid of lithography and color woodcut. [See Hillier's discussion of the book in his ART OF THE JAPANESE PRINTED BOOK]. These small volumes constitute a truly remarkable work and one of the most important examples of the Japanese picture book genre produced in this century. Our copy is in very good condition with a bit of foxing. One plate has a small tear. Still a worthy copy of this fine book. In a modern cloth clasped chitsu case. SOLD

61. [EHON] SO SHISEKI. KOKON GASO. Vols. 1 & 3 (of 3?). 26.8 x 17.0 cm; original yellow covers, titles in vlack on blue labels; hashira inscription "Gafu" and sheet numbers; part sumizuri, part color-printed. No colophon. Contents as Odin 74 (Vol.1, orchids; Vol.3, bamboo). Good impression, very good state. The above description follows the entry for this item when it was sold at the Holloway sale, 1 June 1978. SOLD

62. [EHON] Sugawara HYAKURYU, artist. NIHON SHOKEI Shohen. Tokyo: Toyodo, Meiji 26 [1893]. 24.7 x 17.8 cm. Printed paper covers with printed paper title label. Pierced string binding. Hyakuryu (1833-98) was a popular artist of the Meiji era who established his own style and won many awards. Still, he was not particularly prolific as a book illustrator. Though Mitchell has a mini-bio at p.61 with reference to several of Hakuryu's works, this book seems to have escaped his notice. There are 18 full page color woodcut illustrations of Japanese scenes and scenery, each facing a page of bold and interesting calligraphy. There is a plethora of seals employed which pictorially ring the changes possible in Hakuryu's various names. Though this work is subtitled a "first series", the absence of any record of it leads one to surmise there may have not been a sequel, especially as the last work with a Hakuryu contribution in Mitchell was the KAIGA- CHO , published in 1892. Very nice printing, good to very good original condition.In a folding cloth clasped chitsu case. SOLD

63. [EHON] Takashima HOKKAI, artist. OSHU SANSUI KISHO. Tokyo: Toyodo, Meiji 26 [1893]. 24.5 x 18 cm, orihon album, in silk over stiff paper covers, printed paper title label. Hokkai (1850-1931) was an important landscape artist (see Roberts, p.170). Neither Hokkai nor any of his works appear in any of the standard ehon references in English, which is odd considering the quality of this book and his eminence in Japan. The OSHU consists of a series of 40 double page color landscape woodcuts of France, Italy and Scotland. The emphasis is upon the mountains and hillsides, in short the nature of Europe, not its cities. A remarkable and very unusual work. Though the covers are a bit rubbed and skinned, overall in very good condition and impression. SOLD

64. [EHON] Tanigami Konan, artist. Seiyo SOKA ZUFU. Kyoto: Unsodo, Taisho 6 [1917]. 5 volumes. Orihon folding albums, each 27.8 x 18.8 cm, in green boards with printed paper title labels. There are two "Spring" volumes, bound separately. Two "Summer" volumes, "Fall" & "Winter" are bound together with a cover uniform with the other four and an appropriate publisher's title slip. Each volume numbers its color woodblock prints up to "25". Each volume has a table of contents listing 25 prints [in English, kana and kanji, where appropriate]. Thus, a complete set consists of 125 (each image size 22.4 x 33.1cm) double page prints. There is no mention of this book in any of the standard Western references (a fact which illustrates again the need for an Uns“d“ bibliography!) These "Seiy“", i.e. "Western", flowers are depicted in a realistic fashion and printed in lovely rich colors with a great deal of skill. Unlike some other botanicals, no bald descriptive text intrudes upon the print itself. The captions are banished to the margin. The impressions in this set are quite good. There is occasional minor soiling and foxing and the covers are a bit rubbed, but overall the condition is good. Extraordinary set. SOLD

65. [EHON] Watanabe NANGAKU & Kawamura BUMPO, artists. Nangaku Bumpo KAIDO SOGA Zen. Kawachiya Kihei and Yoshidaya Shimbei (of Osaka and Kyoto respectively.) Bunka 8 [1811] 26.2 x 17.9 cm. There is a preface by Bunya Shigetaka. Buff covers blindstamped with a geometric pattern of squares and octagons. Printed paper title label. Our copy of this bibliographically complex work appears to resemble most closely the copy at Ryerson 385 (one of Mitchell's "B" examples). It would appear that the two volume edition (Mitchell's "A") with a poetry volume is of extraordinary rarity. (The KSSM only lists three examples and Mitchell lists his own and one other - a variant). What is clear in the midst of all the detail is that the impressions of this copy are fresh and beautiful. The juxtaposition of Nangaku and Bumpo designs is instructive and interesting. There is a bit of soiling and staining to the covers, a very few internal spots and thumbing and a very mild internal waterstain - but overall still a pleasing copy of this uncommon and important book.

In passing, it should also be mentioned that Yoshida's woodcut designs for this book are very early, if not his first published examples of the genre for which he would become famous. Populated not only with 11 woodcuts and 8 lithographs, but also zincographs, color offset, and collotype, etc. An interesting visual survey of the sketchtour genre and the media used to illustrate it. This copy is in generally very good condition, with some slight chipping to the head of the spine. In a "second printing" printed slipcase, though the book itself appears to be a first impression. Unusual and complete: SOLD
