Japan n.d. ca.1840-50. Tan stiff stitched wrs., very good, bright set of 3 volumes, hand-painted, each page with a full page color painted illustrations of a named flower, bird and fish, 18 x 25 cm. ORIGINAL HAND-PAINTED ART BOOKS. OBSCURE This is a lovely set of books, beautifully and skillfully hand-drawn and painted in full color. An unusual set of Japanese natural history color drawings. The titles of the three volume set are: 1. KAI SEN GYO RUI HYAKUSHU: COLLECTION OF ONE HUNDRED . FISHES FROM RIVER AND SEA. . 2. SO KA HYAKUSHU: COLLECTION OF ONE HUNDRED FLOWERS AND . GRASSES. . 3. CHO KEI RUI HYAKUSHU: COLLECTION OF ONE HUNDRED BIRDS. *** CONTENTS: Each volume contains 25 double-folded leaves with paintings on both sides, for a total of 50 color paintings per volume, 150 in all. * TITLE: While the Japanese title reflects the common usage of the word "Hyaku" [One Hundred] this was not meant to be take literally, but rather to indicate a "large number" of painting examples. Many Japanese books use this often. * UNIFORM SET: Each volume is uniformly bound with the same covers and same paper pages, in the same size. * CONDITION: There are no major "condition" issues. Each volume is fairly clean, there is some minor soil or dustiness to the white paper title slips. A minor bit of wear to the exterior edges of the covers. By and large quite nice. The contents are essentially without flaw, no worming or stains. Two inside end papers have wrinkles but are mostly flat now. ******** UNSIGNED ARTIST'S WORK These books were not signed by the artist anywhere. The title labels are written in both Japanese and English. The volume on birds has a tiny bird drawing on the label, and the volume on flowers has a small cherry blossom sketch in pink, the volume on fish has no drawing on its label. Each drawing page has the Katakana Japanese name written in either the upper right or left margin. *** LATE EDO PERIOD PAINTING A lovely example of late Edo period meticulous art work, not a "copy book" nor a "sample book" commonly done by students of Japanese painting, but obviously executed by a very skilled and experienced hand. The work has faithfully recorded for posterity what the artist perceived as his world of flowers, grass, fish and birds. ***********.…
