Leipzig: Otto Harrassowitz. Very Good. 1949. Paperback. 45 pages; Publisher's printed wrappers. 9 pages of b/w halftone illustrations. Minor chippig at the spine ends, short closed tear to the top margin of the upper wrapper. A very good copy of the first edition of this important study of the supernatural in Japanese Art. This elusive original was published in East Germany as part of an academic series: [Forschungenn zur Völkerdynamic Zentral- und Ostasiens.; Heft 4]. The only location in OCLC is for a micrographic reprint done by the NY Public Library (see OCLC: 44442749). ; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings. .
