Dear Colleagues :
I am looking for catalogs and mailings made by these Japanese/American and
American firms which dealt in Japanese Goods:
Yamanaka Co. -NY
A. A.Van Tine & Co.
Bunkio Matsuki Boston [Matsuki Co.]
Morimura Brothers, NY
Edward Greey & Co. NY.
Also any other American firms dealing in Japanese hand made products before
1920.
Catalogs of Japanese concerns in both the USA and Japan also of interest in
such fields as:
furniture; Objet d'art; garden furniture and ornaments; dishes, pots, pans,
teapots, drapery, screens, Etc.
Books primarily photographic with texts in either Japanese or other
langauges. Any subject. Little itsy booklets also of interest. Booklets
which use photogravure or collotype processes rather than 1/2 tone
preferred, but not required.
Books which show Japanese architecture and interiors, including books on
specific temples.
Separately issued maps of Japan, Japanese districts, islands, town plans,
texts in Japanese or other languages. Not of interest if the seem to have
been published much after 1913.
Author inscribed volumes about Japan or by Japanese on any subject printed
before 1930 also of interest.
Business histories in Japanese or any other language about Japanese firms
before 1930.
The Permanent Japanese industrial fairs outside Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka
[19th century] always of interest.
This is for stock, so quote any time.
Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year.
