[Charles Agvent]

SHUGIO, Heromich (editor). JAPANESE ART FOLIO. Tokyo: K. Ogawa, 1898 - 
1899. First Edition. Folio (13" x 19") in original gray printed wraps 
issued in 12 monthly parts in slipcases. Complete set with a total of 72 
prints, including 12 in color. Each part contains 6 individual prints by 
artists including Hokusai, Shunsho, Choshun, Ritsuo, Kaigetsudo, and 
many others. The first print in each portfolio is in color executed by 
T. Tamura. The other prints are uncolored collotypes by the publisher. 
Each plate is protected by a captioned tissue guard with a description 
in English. Each part housed in individual stiff board slipcase with 
printed title. In the preface the publisher states that the purpose of 
this publication is "to facilitate the study of Japanese art and to 
satisfy in a modest way the desire of many who can not enjoy the 
privilege of seeing the originals. It is the editor's hope to select the 
best examples of our acknowledged masters and to show the most striking 
features of all the artists as possible." Complete sets of this handsome 
publication are uncommon. Plates are generally Fine with some light 
foxing to a few of the margins. A few of the wrappers are faded, but 
they are generally in very nice condition with no chips or tears. The 
slipcases are a bit worn, six of them soiled and spotted. Part 1 lacks 
its wrappers, and Parts 11 and 12 lack their slipcases. Overall Very 
Good and scarce. (#020250)        $2,000
