Kanjiro Kawai and His Work

Kanjiro Kawai Memorial Museum . Softcover. Very Good/Poor. 1976. Book's text is entirely in Japanese. From the inside cover (thanks to Google Translate and Convertio OCR): "Kawai Kanjiro's lifelong work is enormous. Mainly edited and created works from the latter half of his life to the end of his life. Kanjiro worked not only in pottery, but also in writing, wood carving, architecture, and designing various utensils, putting all of his talent and passion into his work. In addition, at the end of the book, we have recorded his own writings, etc. that show the flow of Kanjiro's thought. The title of the book is ``Kawai Kanjiro and Work,'' in the hope that you will get to know the world of Kanjiro, who explored the universals within himself with a lively passion through the line of ``work''. All works in the catalog are from the collection of the Kawai Kanjiro Memorial Museum." Photos are mostly in black and white, but some are in full color. Outer cardboard sleeve is in fairly good shape with only a few spots and one dent on the back. The books translucent dust jacket - maybe made of rice paper - is in very bad shape with many tears and missing pieces. Very delicate. But the book itself is in very good shape, with just a bit of curling on the front and back boards. The pages are all clean and firmly attached to the binding. Binding is tight.
