Very nice Japanese book with silk ties, silk pattern covers over limp boards with partial silk spine, and paper title label adhered to front wrap. Hand-colored wood block illustrations throughout. The illustrations are very bright and beautiful. Patterned silk spine has become detached from spine area, but is still intact (see image). No previous owners' names or other markings. Unpaginated. Japanese text throughout. (Maple 10.5)
