<td width="100%">
Rare, small book of wood block prints by Toyokuni, printed in
Japan c. 1860, during the Edo period,
with black and white inside pages, and beautifully colored
cover. The paper is textured. <P>These colored prints, as well as the inner pages were
meant to be seen as one picture, by placing them side by side.
Each book is bound together with red thread. <P>CONDITION:
Considering the fragile nature of paper, it is amazing that these
small books have survived so well. There is some wear at the
corners, as one might expect, one worm hole and a few pin
pricks where the books were prepared for binding.<P> This
double pair is the first of five I intend to put up for auction. All
are in wonderful condition, so keep your eye out for them!
