A Few Words from T & T Custom made crepe paper advertising book by Hasegawa
Extremely scarce crepe paper booklet made for Tetsuka & Takeda who were based in Chicago and imported all sorts of Japanese arts and crafts. This booklet mentions that Takeda succeeded the business of H.K. Tetsuka and the company would now be called Tetsuka and Takeda. Harry Kenichi Tetsuka apparently moved to the US in 1885 and met his future wife, named Dora, at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
[Tokyo]. No publisher (but almost certainly Hasegawa Takejiro). No date (c1893).
4pp. 17 x 12.5cm.
In fine condition with only a hint of wear.
