Tsuya Sugata - Vol 2 Beautiful kimono design book by Itō Kamejirō
[Japan] Wonderful, large format book with decorative cover containing 50 woodblock printed kimono designs with some particularly stunning artwork. The colophon mentions Itō Kamejirō as the author and him being in the 'Design department', which is presumably the design department of Unsōdō, the publisher. This is the 2nd volume (of 2) thus the designs are numbered 51-100. In Japan, only the National Diet Library and Nara Women's University appear to have copies of both volumes.
Kyoto. Unsōdō (Yamada Naosaburō). 1908.
50 designs complete. 34 x 24.2cm.
In very good condition. Some minor age wear and a few stray marks. Tissue interleaves slightly darkened but all present. b36051622
