[JAPANESE PAPERMAKING] GOTO Seikichiro — Kami No Tabi

1964. [JAPANESE PAPERMAKING] GOTO Seikichiro. KAMI NO TABI. Tokyo, Bijutsu Shuppansha. Showa 39 [1964]. Large oblong folio in washi covers, 33.5 x 44.3 cm. #196 of 300cc. Illustrated beautifully in katazome throughout. The illustrations as well as the text are by Goto, a fine artist as well as one of the most eminent scholars of Japanese papermaking. Besides the textual illustrations there are a large number of full page color prints which are lovely indeed. Paper samples are tipped in, the book is printed on handmade paper, bound in it and enclosed in it, as the clasped case is washi over boards, as well. The text, in Japanese, is scholarly, succinct and informative. All in all, a truly remarkable work. A near fine copy with only a hint of foxing which sometimes mars this work, and a tiny amount of dust soiling. A beautifuly production. .
