Kegan, New York; Yoshikawa, Yokohama, 1940, 4to, 147p. Lovely and unusual presentation, cream wraps bound with white cord stitching, many colour and black and white illustrations, some foldouts and on varied paper construction, very solid and clean, internally fine, over all near fine. With folding slipcase faded and rubbed but complete with ivory ties. One of 700 printed. Suzuki Harunabu (1724-1770) another of the Ukiyo-e school, used poetry to enhance his prints creating a romantic lyrical atmosphere. Beautiful work in an exotic and intriguing presentation. E-mail for more pictures.
