1818907811818. Katsushika HOKUSAI 葛飾北斎. Denshin Kaishû HOKUSAI GAKYÔ. ä¼ç¥žé–‹æ‰‹ã€€åŒ—æ–Žç”»é¡ã€€å…¨ã€€Nagoya: Hishiya Kyuubei Edo: Maekawa Rokuzaemon Osaka: Kawachiya Tasuke Kyoto: Hishiya Jihei. The preface is date Bunka 15 1818. Almost certainly an original printing of this surprisingly scarce work. 26.1 x 17.3 cm. The covers and title label are original. Later Meiji era issues had a printed title page mounted on the front mikaeshi. This copy does not but it may well be that there was none in the first printings.Jack Hillier in his THE ART OF HOKUSAI IN BOOK ILLUSTRATION devotes a whole chapter to this book. It exists in at least 2 early editions. One printed in color but always missing three fascicles when found is titled SHUGA ICHIRAN. Our version at hand is printed in sumi only and usually considered the first appearance in 1818 but there has been controversy on that point for years. Our copy is complete save the possible absence of the title page pastedown as mentioned. But the covers are original with the blindstamped pattern of the earliest copies so it would be hard to believe the title page was steamed off the inside of the cover and there is an appropriate sheet of paper affixed there.<br /> <br /> In any event one of the most underappreciated of all Hokusai's books as it is usually found in worn and poorly printed late copies. unknown books
