Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. An incredibly beautiful poetic anthology created by Onchi Koshiro (1891-1955), a founder of sosaku-hanga movement. Flowers represented are the typical and even archetypical plants of Japan, such as morning glories (asagao), poppies, magnolia, cherry blossom (sakura) etc. Every flower is traditionally connected to one of the multiple Japanese seasons and by that - to the seasonal poetry. Rooted deeply with the old Japanese tradition, the book is relevant to post-war Modernism by its style and content. Signed by Onchi Koshiro in 1947 with a handwritten poem: "Nihon no hana yo nawo adeyaka nare". Text in Japanese. In 8vo. One volume, complete. 25,1x17,8 cm. 123+3+[3]. Woodblock and machine printed on a washi paper. Three paste down plates and twenty seven flower illustrations, including the frontispiece. Slightly browned. Occasional foxing on the leaves. Inscription in black ink and brush on the free end paper. Dust jacket slightly creased but no losses, nor stains. Near fine condition. Signed by Author(s).

First edition. 74 photographic plates. Japanese text. Large 8vo. Original decorated cloth in dustwrapper (slight wear & tear to edges) and slipcase (minor staining), a very good copy. 111, [xiv] (ads.)pp. Tokyo, ARS, dated: Showa 13 [i.e. This is Suzuki's best work, a charming publication showing scenes in his home garden in Tokyo. There is of course a strong seasonal aspect to the photographs, but Suzuki excels in showing the beauty of the mundane: This work is far removed from the crafted aesthetic of Fukuhara Shinzo: It prominently features his three daughters, the cat, wooden clogs in front of the veranda, the sun reflecting on the surface of stagnant pools, as well as repeated shots of an umbrella leaning beside a door. Suzuki explores the differences in morning and evening light, rain and sun, autumn and winter. Book and slipcase are designed by Onchi Koshiro. No copy in OCLC.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Magical publication made by the founder of the "creative printing", sosaku-hanga, Koshiro ONCHI (1891-1955). The use of the gold, the light graphic compositions and especially the dedication of one of the poems to Claude Debussy, makes the design unusually tender and light for an avant-garde publication. For this book Onchi used calligraphy instead of typeface printing for the text, and combined it with exquisite gray suprematist vignettes for framing. Text in Japanese. 1 vol. complete. 36x30cm. 95 pp. 3 colour lithograph plates. 1 photo portrait of the frontispiece. Black ink and brush signature on the half title. The text is the reproduced poet's handwriting. Vignettes in gray colour. Paper with publisher watermarks. Minor foxing. Craft paper gorgeous binding with golden embossing. Top tail gilded. Cover is lightly dust on the spine and in the middle. Fine condition.

4to. (29.7 x 21.7 cm). pp. 42. With 6 illustrations by Onchi Koshiro. Original wrappers. Limited to 200 numbered copies, signed by the author beside his photograph reproduced on the opening page. Kitasono Katue (1902-1978) was one of the most important Japanese Avant Garde poets of the 20th Century. Due to circumstances ranging from language barriers and lack of translators to stereotypes to misfortunes in publication, his work is not widely known outside Japan. Ezra Pound considered him one of the great poets of the century, and the two corresponded and influenced each other for decades. Kitasono was editor-in-chief of the renowned Tokyo avant-garde poetry magazine Vou, which continued, with occasional suspension, until Kitasono's death in June 1978. 'Natsu no Tegami' was designed with surrealist illustrations by Onchi Koshiro (1891-1955), one of the first abstract painters in Japan, and a leader of the Sosaku Hanga (New-style prints) movement. He produced single sheet prints and book designs, as well as being a poet and art theorist. In 1911, under the influence of Takehisa Yumeji, Onchi began to design books and quickly became involved in producing print and poetry magazines. Onchi started to make abstract prints at the beginning of the Taisho- era (1912-26), and continued to experiment, drawing on traditional elements of Japanese colour and decorative sense, combining them with motifs from international modernism. His illustrations for Natsu no Tegami show the influence of European surrealism.

Hardcover. Zustand: g- to vg. Limited First edtion. 1/1500. Quarto (10 1/4 x 7 1/2"). [2], 141, [3]pp. Original red-lettered illustrated dust-jacket over silver-lettered tan cloth. Title page in orange and black lettering. Book housed in its original printed cardboard slipcase, itself housed in a later olive cloth slipcase. Scarce and unusual work by Onchi Koshiro (1891-1955), a noted Japanese print-maker, photographer, and one of the fathers of the Sosaku-hanga movement* in the early decades of 20th-century Japan. Lavishly illustrated throughout with 107 b/w in-text photographic reproductions, "Hakubutsushi" (Records of Nature: Essays and Photographs) is a stunning tour de force, as it shows the author's incredible ability to see abstract and surreal beauty in the natural environment. The first 83 pages show photographs of various plants, followed by photographs of insects, reptiles, fishes, birds, cats and cows (pp. 84-130), and ends with pictures of animals in a zoo (pp.131-139). Some of the stark close-up portraits of plants are reminiscent of Karl Blossfeldt's work. Onchi's acoompanying text is comprised of comtemplative essays and childhood remenices on his various subjects, also describing their meanings for him. The work was printed in a limited number of 1500 copies, and has been considered quite unsual for a book of this type to have been published in Japan during the WWII period. The front free endpaper contains a an inscription written in black marker, in Japanese, to the previous owner of the book. Original cardboard slipcase sunned. Light water-staining along joints and spine of dust-jacket. Upper corners bumped, thus slightly affecting pages throughout. Text in Japanese. Modern slipcase in very good, original slipcase in good-, dust-jacket in good- to good, binding and interior in very good condition. Quite scarce. * Sosaku-hanga (???? "creative print") was an art movement in early 20th-century Japan. It stressed the artist as the sole creator motivated by a desire for self-expression, and advocated principles of art that is "self-drawn" (?? jiga), "self-carved" (?? jikoku) and "self-printed" (?? jizuri). As opposed to the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement that maintained the traditional ukiyo-e collaborative system where the artist, carver, printer, and publisher engaged in division of labor, creative print artists distinguished themselves as artists creating art for art's sake.
