1822. Tsuji Hōzan 辻鳳山, artist. BITCHÛ MEISHÔ-KÔ 備中名勝考, 2 VOLS. N.P. Gyokusho^-en, Bunsei 5 [1822]. 26.4 x 18.5 cm. String-bound Japanese style, fukuro-toji. Identical to the copy catalogued in Mitchell. With the light blue grey blindstamped covers, 18 double page illustrations, lightly colored. Has some worming, else in very good condition, colors and impressions. A very interesting and lovely work, at one time often attributed to Suiseki, as the images are reminiscent of his work (and hence very good indeed), It has been established that Ho^zan was not Suiseki, however, as his identity can be traced independently through contemporary sources. Complete, in a 20th century chitsu clasped case. Very scarce work.
