A propos de cet article

A chunky small oblong book - Ehon - measuring approx 6" x 3" in "fukuro-toji" style - folded sheets, spine open, string tied pages. Plain rust coloured padded covers, with Title strip. Covers very worn, but complete and sound. All page edges 'dusty/slightly darkened. Internally very clean. Illustrated throughout in b/w. With initial pages of script, and then divided into sections - About 280 pages in all. No date that I can spot/recognise, but I don't read Japanese, the feel of the book is definitely Nineteenth Century - maybe a little later? . Stuck onto an endpaper is the old label of an English art shop (supplier? ) = A. A. Dobson of Manchester. 'Art; Design; Librairie. Artistique Photographie'. With a name & address of a former owner in old ink written on that. Nice to have an early original copy of this. SEE IMAGES; Oblong Thick 24mo 6" x 3".
