About this Item
Kyoto, Taisho, 1914. In two volumes (of ten). Large 8vo size (25.0 x 18.1 cm). 42 [21; 21] leporello "pages", each with pochoir illustrations, several heightened with silver, and either double-sized, covering two pages, one page sized, or smaller, with two or more on one page, for a total of 78 [39; 39] different designs. Original near uniform printed soft covers, heightened with silver and gold. = An amazing, inspiring collection of pochoir [stencil] designs, apparently for wallpaper and fabrics. Edited by Shôkyô Tsuji. Volume II is devoted to dyeing and volume III to weaving. Many of the very colourful illustrations are reminiscent of the Art Deco style, yet more daring and colourful, often using bold and unexpected colours, and - of course - slightly ahead of the Art Deco period in western countries. The volumes are numbered two and three in Japanese. Volume I and 4-10 are not included. The bookblocks and covers are original. One leaf with some creasing (before printing), another a bit smudged due to offsetting of silver; tear in one fold. One rear board detached, otherwise a very good, clean set. Seller Inventory # 71496
