WOODBLOCK PRINTING
COLLECTION OF OFUDA CHARMS IN THREE ALBUMS
WOODBLOCK PRINTING A COLLECTION OF OFUDA CHARMS IN THREE ALBUMS. Slightly over 1200 ofuda ranging in size from that of a grain of rice there are 97 of these up to 21.5 x 31 cm. However the majority are approximately 15 x 5.5. cm or thereabouts with most having similar vertical proportions. All but three are laid down in the three albums. Two of the albums are matching double-sided accordion-fold albums with brown paper boards 23 x 16 cm each with a calligraphed title slip. 116 and 118 pages respectively including pastedowns. One of them opens with a large sheet of text 31.5 x 18 cm laid down. These albums are made from printed books that have been repurposed: the printed texts two long sheets each printed on one side only and bound parallel to each other back-to-back between the boards were detached and flipped over leaving the blank side of each exposed and then reattached to the boards. There is some ghosting of the printed text in areas that are not covered by ofuda and a few blank pages. The third album 100 pp. including pastedowns has worn cloth-covered boards 27 x 20.5 cm and an abraded title slip. It opens with two manuscript pages and there are a couple of notes within the album. Otherwise it is full of charms pasted down on every page. The album pages are foxed but not the charms. For further interesting information on ofuda charms and other popular printed genre I recommend Rebecca Salter's excellent book: https://www./Japanese-Popular-Prints-Votive-Playin g/dp/0824830830 A wonderful older collection of an ephermeral genre which is by no means easy to find either in collection or singly. unknown books
