About this Item
[EHON] Onishi Chinnen 大西椿 (1792-1851), artist. EHON AZUMA NO TEBURI (Alternative title TAIHEI YUZO 太 象). Edo: Kobayashi Shimbei & Osakaya Gembei, Bunsei 12 [1829]. 27.8 x 18.6 cm, string bound Japanese-style, fukuro toji, in the original blue paper covers from which the mica decoration has largely been rubbed away. The title slip is missing as well, but otherwise this copy collates identically with the copy in Mitchell, p.214. See Hillier, volume 2, pp. 768-70, in which he describes Chinnen's SONAN GAFU & this volume, the AZUMA NO TEBURI, as being "among the best known and most admired of all Japanese books". The 25 double page color prints of genre scenes in Edo done in Chinnen's inimitable Shijo style are very well printed. The colors are excellent and are those of an early printing. This is a very handsome book, carefully restored, and an important cornerstone item for any ehon collection - Chinnen only produced two major works of book illustration, this and the iconic SONAN GAFU. Complete in a blue clasped chitsu case. Seller Inventory # 91186
