Japanese Pictures of Japanese Life Very scarce plain paper edition in orginal box
[Japan] A beautiful book and a very scarce Hasegawa publication. The crepe paper edition turns up relatively often but this plain paper edition rarely appears and this is the first we've had in its original paper box and the book's original tissue paper sleeve. The cover shows the Hasegawa woodblock printers at work.
Tokyo: Hasegawa Takejiro, 1903.
11 leaves. 24.2 x 18.6cm.
In fine condition. Upper right corners with slight curve. Original silk spine covering still present. Box and tissue sleeve with minor age wear. b38032032
