6797Many full-page woodcut illus. Nine columns per page; 20 characters per column. 21; 32 folding leaves. Two vols. incl. addendum. 8vo orig. wrappers remains of block-printed title labels on upper covers. Osaka: Bun'eido 19th century or earlier. This book presents several mysteries. The title-page states "Seppu shoshi Bun'eido shi" "Osaka publisher Bun'eido published this book". In spite of this the book has all the qualities of a Chinese publication: the text paper and wrappers are clearly Chinese. There is no colophon. It would seem that this book was printed in China for the Japanese market. The history of the literati scholar in China dates back to the Tang and Song dynasties A.D. 618-907 and 960-1279 respectively when the court implemented meritocratic civil exams for the selection of bureaucratic officials. The tests assessed the candidates' knowledge and ability in a wide range of subjects including Confucian thought law agriculture and the arts especially calligraphy painting and music. An entire class of intellectual and artistically trained scholars was thus created many of whom built studios filled with beautiful calligraphy and painting tools furniture musical instruments implements for preparing and consuming tea and wine and antiques. The two authors Lin active 13th century and Luo active 1254 compiled this collection of instruments and objects necessary for the studios of the fashionable literati connoisseurs well-versed in all the arts. The text originally appeared as part of the great Shou fu a large anthology of philosophical works commentaries on poetry and essays on culture. The verso of each folding leaf has a full-page woodcut of an instrument used in calligraphy and painting: a brush with cap cake of ink paper in rolls an inkwell a vessel to hold water shells and minerals to be admired a knife rulers scissors a seal a tray to hold instruments a container to hold red ink for corrections screens a light source a box to carry brushes brooms stone weights needles used in binding a board game an ornate antique sword a mirror bow and arrows utensils to prepare pigments arm rests and a number that we cannot determine. On the respective following recto page is a description of each object. The addendum in the second volume was written by Yuanqing Gu 1487-1565 a bibliophile from today's Changzhu in Jiangsu province. He had a large collection of books and was the editor of a treatise on tea by Chunnian Qian active ca. 1530-35. In this section of the book the format changes and has images on the verso with explanatory text on the facing pages. There are illustrations of screens porcelains ornate fly swatters a flute a cane a jade bell an inkwell etc. Nice set of an extremely rare book; we find another set at Kyushu University only. The wrappers of each volume are wormed with careful repairs. The first and final few leaves of Vol. I have some mostly marginal worming. Vol. II has some unimportant worming. unknown books

"The Han dynasty was the first to forge a stable empire governing all of China. It ruled during a golden age that shaped much of the nation's cultural history and development. In an effort to preserve their legacy of beauty and power the Han created elaborate tombs containing exquisite artistic treasures intended for use in the afterlife. The finest of these treasures to have survived include exquisite jades bronzes and ceramics found in the tombs of the Han imperial family and of a rival "emperor" of Nanyue. Many of the items including warrior statues dancing figures and priceless jewels -- intended to ensure protection entertainment and continued wealth and status respectively -- are brought together for the first time in this stunning publication.
