Momoyogusa Vol. 2 Masterpiece by Kamisaka Sekka
[Japan] One of the most sought after Japanese works of art. Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942) produced some of the most impressive woodblock printed art in the early 1900s. Impressive in its large format and without margins as issued. This is volume 2 of his 3-volume work that was published from 1909-1910. Although it is difficult to see that any of the woodblock prints have been removed, this particular volume only has 18 illustrations of the 20 listed on the contents page. Still, any volumes in such good condition are very hard to find these days.
