Softcover. Zustand: g+ to near fine. First edition. 12 light brown/ beige portfolios with text printed in black on white paper labels pasted on the front covers. The fully complete series of designs and patterns edited and compiled by Japanese designer, painter and color theorist Wada Sanzo (1883-1967). This extremely scarce collection contains all 12 of the individual parts (portfolios), each containing 8 numbered plates, for a total of 96 plates in. Each plate measuring 10.5 x15" and contains at least 4 designs, so the total number of designs in the collection is no less 384. All of these images display inventive combinations of modernist and western design with traditional Japanese and other Asian design elements, all with vibrant color schemes. These prints have been said to be inspired by the S?saku-hanga movement of the period. The wide range and combinations of influences displayed here include 20th century avant-garde abstraction, surrealism, natural themes, animals, classical Greco-Roman styles, impressionism, Japanese woodblock prints, and classical Chinese art, as well as floral and botanical motifs. In addition to numerous images created by Wada himself, there are contributions from many other artists and designers, many of whom studied under Wada, including ceramicist and draftsman Sakujiro Terao (?????, 1898-1984), Yamagata Komataro (?????, 1886-1978), Kinoshita Kuni (???) and Yamada Shozo (????). Nearly all plates are in color, with a few in b/w. Each design is captioned with a title and artist credit in Japanese. The images are finely printed lithographically and in offset reproductions, or combinations thereof. Text in Japanese. Portfolios, with light rubbing to extremities. Minor to light staining, smudges or markings to a few of the portfolios. Most plates and images are quiet clean, with occasion instances of light water stains or foxing to plates, usually in the margins only. Light age toning to some plates. Portfolios in good+ to very good+, plates in very good- to near fine condition overall. ???? (Sanzo Wada, 1883-1967) was a Japanese painter, printmaker, color theorist and costume designer. After many years with an educational background in both Japanese and western painting, he became a successful artist and in 1927 became a member of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts (now Japan Academy of Fine Arts). In the same year he founded the Japan Standard Color Association, out of what he perceived as a need for the standardization of color in Japan. Later in the 1950s, and credited as Mitsuzô Wada, he worked as a consultant and color designer for feature films. He won the Academy Award in 1954 for his work as costume designer for director Teinosuke Kinugasa's acclaimed samurai period drama ???, aka "Gate of Hell" (1953). *A reprint of the set was issued in 1977.

WADA, Sanzo. Haishoku sokan. Six volumes of plates and two loose folded card leaves. The plate volumes constitute a total of 348 accordion folding card leaves with mounted colour samples arranged in twos in the first two volumes, threes in the next two, and fours in the last two. The colour samples are all mounted and captioned in Japanese and English. 8vo., 195 x 130 mm bound in publisher's cloth preserved in the publisher's cloth slipcase. Tokyo: Hakubisha, 1933-34. A truly spectacular work on colour theory, which as an aesthetic object can take its place alongside the works of Chevreul, Albers and Matiushin. Wada, who lived from 1883 to 1967 is primarily known to the general public for his early paintings, and for winning an Academy Award in 1955 for the costume design in the film Gates of Hell. However, it is really for his pioneering studies in color theory that Wada is perhaps best remembered. In 1927 he founded the Japan Standard Color Association, and its successor, the Japan Color Research Institute is still in operation today. This is his magnum opus on colour theory, and such is its importance, that it has recently been reprinted. This is a book of great beauty and rarity, with OCLC listing only 6 copies in the US at the: Metropolitan Museum, Huntington Library, Getty, National Gallery, Princeton and the Faber Birren Collection at Yale. Slight soiling to the slipcase and wear to the paper label, but overall a fine copy of a real treasure.
