      Striking photo essay which traces one of the world's great

Many of the illustrations are fold-outs. The excellent text and commentaries
were entirely re-written for a Western audience by the author. Handsomely

black ornament on upper board. Endpapers are faced with thin veneer of
cryptomeria wood, with a small explanatory label in lighter paulowinia wood

wrinkles. Lovely book.    $200.00
