| 15. [EHON] HASEGAWA Keika, artist. KEIKA HYAKUGIKU. Kyoto: Yamada Naosaburo; Tanaka Jihei, Meiji 26 [1893]. 3 vols., 30.8 x 22.8 cm. 75 large [some double] page color woodcut plates of chrysanthemums. An interesting work, here in its first published form. Not in Mitchell, Ryerson or Bartlett & Shiohara. A copy is in the Dawes catalogue of the collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Certainly not unknown in Japan, but a scarce book abroad. This copy, in off-white wrappers, is a very good early impression in lovely delicate colors - if anything more beautiful that the Unsôdô reprint of 1903. 3 vols in a modern clasped case. |
