1813
by Nakao Shoko
1813. Nakao Shoko. TOSHI CHOUKO GADEN. 3 volumes. Kyoto, Osaka and Edo. Bunka 10 [1813] Oohon, 25.5 x 18.4 cm. Original beige covers with title labels. Seems identical to the set that appears at Mitchell 535. Nicely printed in sumi.... Another lovely guide to the Chinese-style of painting, popular among the Japanese "bunjin" of the period. The genre is little studied though well represented in the history of Edo era printing. By no means a common book. In very clean condition overall.
