English text; 2 Hardcover VOLUMES (with dust jackets) in slipcase.; 24.6 x 33.5 cm; 6.9 Kg; 1132 pages with colour and black and white illustrations throughout.; VOLUME I: 3.681 Kg, 608 pages; VOLUME II: 3.236 Kg, from page 609 to 1132.; Minor signs of wear on the slipcase and dust jackets. Interior as new.; It is surprising that so little of the great heritage of Japanese art in book form has been appreciated in the west, where attention has been largely confined to Ukyo-e prints. There has hitherto been no publication, in Japanese or in any non-Japanese language, that does justice to the art of the Japanese illustrated book.

Description:
London: Sotheby's Publications, 1987. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Two Volumes in slipcase, all 3 immaculate. From page 597 to the back end paper, there is a tiny bump, which becomes more pronounced towards the end. It's as though a minute seed fell on the page and left an indentation, but no stain. The two volumes combine to 1131 pages. Illustrated throughout in coloured and black and white, includes a glossary, index and bibliography. The Art of the Japanese Book surveys the work of the major Japanese book artists from the first book of the early 1600s to those that were published up to the end of the American occupation. The set is very heavy and will attract additional postage, particularly high for overseas mailings.
