Description: 1934. Uta-E うた絵 Kamisaka Sekka 神坂雪佳 Kyoto & Tokyo: Unsōdō 芸艸堂, publisher Showa 9 [1934] [Design] Kamisaka Sekka 神坂雪佳. Uta-E うた絵. Kyoto & Tokyo: Unsōdō 芸艸堂, Showa 9 [1934]. 1 volume (complete). 31 x 22 cm, cloth, ribbon bound covers, paper label. 25 color full page images after designs by Kamisaka Sekka 神坂雪佳 (1866-1942). As Sekka's last work, it crowns his remarkable career with a lovely evocation of Hon'ami Kōetsu's oe阿弥-悦 (1558-1637) Saga-bon 嵯峨oe. (For more on this important work, see Hillier's description on p. 976 of the second volume of his "Art of the Japanese Book.") The condition is a bit better than average, with relatively little of the offsetting from the prints to the poems that is usual in this book. Slight foxing and slight edge wear. Housed in the original, professionally repaired, chitsu case with title label that shows general soiling all over and is lacking its clasps. The printing is very good, the colors lovely - a very good copy overall. .
