The last part of volume 5 has five extremely interesting doublepage illustrations of foreign sailing ships and trade at the port of Nagasaki. The illustrations are by Shitomi Kangetsu who was a factual recorder of events and well-suited to the production of these detailed illustrations. Probably a composite copy of the Osaka 1799 edition that had (as here) unnumbered pages and no title page. The work has some worm to a number of pages of a couple of the volumes that intrudes at times on to text or image. The original cov - ers (embossed with a wave design) have wear and creasing as is often the case with these stitched works. In Japanese. Rare.

Wear at corners. £375.00 A privately-published item by an American expatriate in Japan presumably given as a New Year gift to friends and associates. The hand- coloured images of the house and garden include various views of the garden and its plants and trees, portraits of Siegfried and a friend, the family dogs and assorted fish, ducks and other birds. Each image has a short caption including, on the majority, the date the pho - tograph was taken. A somewhat eccentric and charming publication. The title leaf is bound in upside down. There is an early tape re - pair on the reverse of one plate. Otherwise fine and clean. A rare item particularly given the expatriate connection. 142 15 LIST – – JAPANESE INTEREST
