Takejiro Hasegawa. Tokyo. 1896.
26pp. 23.2 x 17.3cm.
In good condition. Wear to covers. A few pages separated at edge. Internally very good.
Although Hasegawa used the same images in this book as in the plain paper editions of 'Images Japonaises' in French and 'Glimpses of Japan' in English, the crepe paper book, 'The Smiling Book' is one of Hasegawa's rarest publications.
