A propos de cet article

So this is going to be an odd listing. The book is entirely in Japanese, a language I do not speak a word of. When I purchased the book some years ago, I put a slip of paper inside and wrote the words 'Residence of the Small Garden'. But now I have no idea where I got them from. So, I have provided a photograph of what may be the title page and hopefully that will help someone who speaks Japanese to identify the book. There are a great many photographs in this book, both in black-and-white and color, and they are in fact photographs of Japanese gardens. The book has 160 pages, 158 of them are numbered. There is an ISBN Number but when I used it no books came up, so the book may be quite rare. Here it is: ISBN4-259-53531-5. After that there is a little space and then the following: C0361. That's the best I can do. I can give you an idea of the condition of the book. It is quite square and straight, and very solidly bound. The pages are tight. There are no cracks or spaces. There are no binding issues anywhere in the book. I provided photographs of the pink covers. There is some very light soiling/darkening at some of the margins of the covers, and the spine has faded from pink to perhaps tan. There is little to no wear on the covers, a small dent on the bottom edge of the front. The page edges are quite clean. The interior pages are very clean. Scrolling through, I didn't see any soiling at all on any of the pages.The only soiling I saw were two small spots facing each other, one on the rear end paper and one on the rear inside cover. Also on the rear inside cover (the book goes from left to right) there is an inscription in a very neat green pen from one friend to another. The inscription is in English. Above it there is what appears to be a Japanese word in the same green pen. There is no other writing anywhere in the book, no names, no underlining, no notes, nothing. Nor are there any markings. And there aren't any attachments. The pages are in excellent condition, without any creasing or dogeared corners. They do have some age or sun toning at their margins. The book has a blue ribbon in very good condition. That pretty much covers it. I hope this is the book that someone has been looking for.
