Offering: An extraordinary publishing endeavor, more than ten years in the making, the only two issued volumes, with texts in English and 72 actual size, replica reproductions,tipped in, and individually sleeved in 460 x 360 mm mats with mounted English and Japanese labels. No further volumes were published because of higher than expected production costs. Fifty five of the replicas are color woodblock prints, made from new woodblocks with traditional nishiki-e methods, using examples of authentic Sharaku prints. Of these, thirty six are finished with applied powdered mica, using kira-zuri technique. Seventeen replicas are collotypes of b/w drawings of print designs, attributed by Yoshida to Sharaku and published for the first time. Yoshida's texts, (his 1943 monograph on Sharaku was the first by a Japanese scholar), draw on years of original research. Rarity: The Adachi Institute was established in 1928 to replicate rare ukiyo-e prints in the original woodblock print format. Because of Adachi's working methods, the edition would have been limited to no more than 200 unnumbered sets. I know of no other complete specimen offered for sale in the last 15 years. A worldwide search finds 19 sets in institutions including the National Diet Library of Japan, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Public Library, and University of Hawaii.

(Mica with a black sheen was used for Sharaku prints until a sumptuary edict by the Tokugawa Shogunate outlawed its use. Sharaku subsequently designed prints that called for red ground mica.) B) The complete set of 8 full-length Kabuki actor figure prints (hosoban) with applied red mica, including the 7 known prints with 2 full-length figures from the equally esteemed Period II. C) 4 prints of the young Sumo wrestler, Daidozan, three from Period III and the sole oban print from Period IV.

Collotype: 17 print designs attributed by Yoshida to Sharaku, (attribution is controversial), 8 of actors, dated to Period II and 9 of Sumo wrestlers, dated to Period IV. Format: Sleeved print and drawing replicas are laid with folded illustration table leaves and text booklets in the publisher's dark blue cloth portfolios attached with natural bone clasps (maru chitsu style), upper sides decorated with mounted, pictorial orange paper labels after designs attributed to Sharaku. Size: 480 mm.

The Sakuteiki, or "Records of Garden Making," was written nearly 1000 years ago, making it the oldest work on Japanese gardening; in fact, the oldest book on gardening in the world! In this edition of the Sakuteiki, the authors provide both an English-language translation of this classic work; and an introduction to the cultural and historical context that led to the development of Japanese gardening. A Japanese court noble wrote the Sakuteiki during the Heian period (794-1184). During this critical era in Japanese history cultural influences on poetry, clothing-and gardening-that had been imported from China and Korea over the previous centuries were reexamined and reinterpreted into their unique Japanese forms. The Sakuteiki contains the first systematic record of this new… Leer más

The Tokaido -- the name of this highway today epitomizes a golden age of Japan's past. This "Eastern Sea Road", which connected the emperor's capital in Kyoto and the seat of the shogun's administration in Edo (now Tokyo) was heavily traveled in all seasons; the numerous prints and guidebooks about the Tokaido represent the time of prosperity and peace when even the average citizen could undertake the adventure of travel along this highway. It was Hiroshige who immortalized the Tokaido. In the famous prints of the fifty-three stages reproduced in this book, this master artist of the ukiyo-e print captured the beauty, romance, adventure, mystery, and joy - all the myriad and glowing facets of the people and places, in all seasons and times of day, of the Tokaido highway. Hiroshige's… Leer más

From flyleaf: Between the years 1814 and 1878 there was published in Japan a series of woodblock printed volumes entitled Hokusai Manga, or Hokusai's Sketches from Life, which was destined to be one of the most popular art publications ever issued anywhere in the world. With its rich tapestry of life as it was lived in the boisterous Tokyo of the day and its magical evocation of the beauties of the Japanese countryside, it was an immediate best-seller in Japan, and then, upon the West's discovery of Japanese art, went on to win the hearts of people everywhere. It is from this amazing book, amazing both in execution and breadth of scope, that the… Leer más
