About This Item
1902. SEKKA, Kamisaka Furuya Korin and others. Shin Bijutsukai. 7 volumes. A total of 720 plates on 360 leaves. 8vo, 239 x 150 mm., publisher's decorated wrappers, in a new chitsu case. Kyoto: Unsodo, 1902-1905. A splendid complete set of this legendary publication, here consisting of the plates from the 70 issues bound up separately by the publisher. The set is a veritable encyclopedia of Japanese design in the first third of the twentieth century. Unsodo is a large Japanese publishing company with branches in both Tokyo and Kyoto. Founded in 1891, this company is still in existence today. From the 1890s through the 1930s, the Unsodo publishing house was involved in printing high quality pattern books for various crafts including textiles and lacquer. A corner of one double-folded page in volume three is torn, with loss, affecting a small portion of 2 plates. A true masterpiece of design, and of great rarity.
