A beautiful handmade book: Varieties of the Japanese Prints by Toshi Yoshida published in 1967. The book contains 11 (12 depending on your definition of finished) mid-century abstract prints by Yoshida. Plus several pages of the different states needed to produce a finished, multi-colored print. In some instances, Yoshida demonstrated how the colors were layered, so there are actually 20 hand printed pages. NO pages are missing. This is Volume 1. No further volumes were ever produced. Signed in English and in Japanese characters on the title page. Condition is quite good. The prints remain bright. No tears or stains. The handmade cover however is slightly worn and the spine is missing material at both the top and bottom. The front hinge is broken; the book is held together by its original cord. Now protected with a mylar wrapper. Missing the original slipcase. Still, for all that, a fine and beautiful thing at a reasonable price. Size is approximately 8 by 8 1/2 inches. Please ask any questions you may have; I’d be happy to answer. Well wrapped, securely boxed. I value the things I sell.
