About This Item
The woodcuts in this attractive album are beautiful, balanced, executed in lovely colours, several highlighted with silver. Prints depict scenes with kimono-attired women and girls in various sensitive settings titled: as, at springtime; a slight token of esteem; sudden shower; the beginning of the year; the odour of the plum blossoms; after school, with captions in Japanese and English.
Worldcat offers the location of only one copy in the National Diet Library in Tokyo, with not a single copy found in Western institutions. Japanese binding in original cushioned decorated cloth with printed title label, double-sided folded book measuring 7.5 x 24 cm, twelve coloured double-page woodblock prints + one colour double-page woodblock-printed title page, some light browning at outer edges in a few cases, one plate with small repair at margin, near fine.
