A Fuji Arts Special Offer Auction

Illustrated Book, Complete Volume with 15 Woodblocks, 1881 - Rare, complete book published in 1881 with illustrations by Yoshitoshi. It features a color cover of a warrior fighting with a sword, and 15 pages of black and white illustrations, both diptych and single panel subjects. The title page has pink and blue gray colors added. It has a traditional stab binding. Dated Meiji 14 (1881). This may be a volume for the book "Kamuri no matsu modo no yoroashi" as it has the same signature block, but it does not have a title on the cover so we are not sure. A rare item and a great choice for a collector.
