Item description from seller

25 x 34cm blue cloth Japanese portfolio box housing a bi-fold introductory page of text by compiler Jack Hillier followed by 21 numbered wallets containing fine full colour ukiyo-e woodblock prints made from newly discovered unpublished drawings by Ando Hiroshige circa 1830, each mounted. The entire set was published as a limited edition, with this set numbered as 10 (of a run of 250). Undated, but circa 1980. The very rare publication was advertised in a July 1980 issue of Country Life magazine as 'Unpublished Woodcuts': "These prints have been cut in cherry wood by the traditional method of woodblock cutting by one of Japan's only remaining craftsmen, a principal of the Adachi Institute for wood cut prints, Tokyo. Each of the 21 subjects range from birds, landscapes and Kabuki scenes". OCLC locates only one copy at the Rijksmuseum Research Library, Amsterdam.? Some minor sunning to box. Slight offsetting and subtle spotting to the adjacent blank sheets behind the prints. Otherwise very good condition.
