The "deuxieme serie" is similarly bound 20 x 30 cm with 14 prints by the four previously listed artists along with Eda Sadashiko. This work with its French text and literary origins may be placed in the mainstream of an emerging international style in Japan. Yet it may be still be seen as squarely in the tradition of the Japanese illustrated book. It shares many of the characteristics of the revival of Japanese picture book printing in general at the end of the 19th century: an emerging Nihonga style which was an amalgam of theme and technique from East and West skilled printing increasingly restrained coloration etc. An interesting document of East-West cultural and artistic accommodation which gave rise to such hybrid vigor in world art. The bound-in covers and contents are perfect. However the leather binding is worn and was rebacked at some point. The two volumes complete and bound as one. unknown books
