[DESIGN] Furuya Kōrin 古谷紅鱗, designer. SHASEI SOKA MOYO 写生草花模様 2 vols. Kyoto:Unsôdô 芸艸堂, Meiji 40 [1907]. Folding orihon albums, 24.9 x 18 cm.
Printed paper over card covers, each volume with 25 double page
color woodblock prints of vegetal and flower designs by the
important designer Kôrin. Lavishly printed and overprinted in
metallic inks and mineral pigments to create a remarkably ornate
surface. Perhaps the most unusual and sought-after of Furuya
Kôrin's works, here in very good printing and good condition with
some browning of the paper and wear to the printed covers. Complete
in two volumes, in the original publisher's clasped chitsu case.
(Have never seen the chitsu before)
Complete in two volumes. From the collection of Prof. Stephen
Addiss.
