‎NIHON JIDOU BUNKO 日本å…童文庫　JAPANESE CHILDREN'S LIBRARY 76 volumes complete‎

‎1927. ONCHI Koushirou æ©åœ°å­å››éƒŽ binding design. NIHON JIDOU BUNKO 日本å…童文庫　JAPANESE CHILDREN'S LIBRARY 76 volumes complete. <br /> Searching for a concise introduction to this set I found a wonderful little essay written by the owner of the UMINEKO book shop in Japan. He was remarking on the exhibition of art bindings that he had seen at an exhibition of art bindings from the 20s and 30s that was held at the Old Book Center æ±äº¬å¤æ›¸ä¼šé¤¨ã€€in Tokyo a few years ago.<br /> <br /> This is a rather poor translation more a paraphrase really from his original Japanese. Just a nice introduction to the set and the era.<br /> <br /> â€When I went to the recent exhibition I was quite taken with a variety of book named "Yenbon" It is a general term for the collection of literary works published by many publishers in the late 1920s early Showa era. They were called 'yen book' at that time because they were priced cheaply at 1 yen per volume.<br /> <br /> So-called "Yen books" for children representatives of which are this "Nihon Jidobunko"Children's Library and "Shougakusei Zenshuu" Elementary School Children's Complete Works Published by Kobunsha Bungeishunjusha.<br /> <br /> ARS and Koubunsha are known for their fierce competition in advertising and sales in that era.<br /> <br /> "Nihon Jidoubunko" was a collection of 76 volumes published by ARS from 1927 Showa 2 to 1930 Showa 5.<br /> Ars Publishing is a publishing company founded by the famous poet Kitahara Hyakushu's younger brother Tetsuo. They published wonderful works on art theory photographic manuals dictionaries of science. many designed by Onchi.<br /> <br /> The sales policy of this "Japan Children's Library" was "Distributed only to reserved members not sold individually. Separate volume 'Self-Study Dictionary' will be given free of charge." In other words quite like the animal encyclopedia my parents bought me monthly at the supermarket back in the early 60s.<br /> <br /> Illustrated by Takeo Takei Yumeji Takehisa Hatsuyamaji Kiichi Okamoto and many other of the finest children's illustrators of the time.<br /> The authors and editors included Mimei Ogawa Hakushu Kitahara Shoyo Tsubouchi Miekichi Suzuki and Toson Shimazaki.<br /> <br /> Onchi himself worked on the cover art and binding of all volumes and the cover art is different for each volume. All are very beautiful.<br /> Onchi worked on everything from the layout of the illustrations to the creation of the block copy and the creation of the advertising pamphlet for the entire volume.<br /> <br /> A revised edition was released after the war in 1953 Showa 28. Onchi was in charge of the binding for the revised version but the design and binding are the same for all volumes. Not varied for each volume as here.<br /> <br /> Thus a remarkable set virtually impossible to find complete of a collection of contemporary children's stories by famous Japanese authors housed in a beautiful binding and book design. brother Tetsuo. They published wonderful works on art theory photographic manuals dictionaries of science. many designed by Onchi. The sales policy of this "Japan Children's Library" was "Distributed only to reserved members not sold individually. Separate volume 'Self-Study Dictionary' will be given free of charge."

Onchi himself worked on the cover art and binding of all volumes and the cover art is different for each of the 76. All are very beautiful. He also did the layout of the illustrations created the block copy and the advertising pamphlet for the entire volume. A revised edition was released after the war in 1953 Showa 28.

‎1934. DESIGN Kamisaka SEKKA. UTA-E Kyoto & Tokyo: Unsodo Showa 9 1934. 1 volume 31 x 22 cm cloth ribbon bound covers paper label. 25 color full page images after designs by Sekka. As Sekka's last work it crowns his remarkable career with a lovely evocation of Koetsu's Saga-bon. For more on this important work see Hillier's description on p.976 of the second volume of his ART OF THE JAPANESE BOOK. The condition is a bit better than average with relatively little of the offsetting from the prints to the poems that is usual in this book. Slight foxing and slight edgewear. The printing is very good the colors lovely. It is a good copy overall but the back cover has an ownership note in Japanese upon it. Without the original publishers clasped case but otherwise complete. Priced accordingly. One volume:. unknown‎

‎MOMOYOGUSA‎

‎1909. DESIGN Kamisaka SEKKA artist. MOMOYOGUSA. Kyoto: Unsodo Meiji 42-43 1909-10. 3 volumes. 30.1 X 22.5 cm. Most consider it the finest Japanese design book of all time this exquisite suite of 60 double-page color-printed woodblocks is printed and overprinted using opaque and metallic inks to produce a sumptuous surface. This is an early impression with woodgrain showing in a few prints. The condition is internally superb with almost none of the gutter fading and metallic ink transfer common to this work. One of the finest printings we have seen. Volume one has been meticulously restored. Some paper fill-in and other work has been so successfully accomplished as to be unnoticeable. Some paper overlay is chipped away on the front covers of volumes one and three though they retain the original printed titles and the paper overlay on the back of one volume is restores/replaced. A complete copy of this cornerstone of any Japanese design collection. unknown‎

‎1908. DESIGN Sugiura HISUI designer. MITSUKOSHI; MITSUKOSHI TIMES; OSAKA MITSUKOSHI Tokyo & Osaka 1908-1923. Western-style magazines 24.9 x 18.4 cm decorated wrappers. Lovely covers most by Sugiura Hisui 1876-1965 or designed under his supervision. Hisui is the most important figure in the development of Japanese commercial art in the 20th century the progenitor of "Taisho Chic" and a force to be reckoned with as a practical designer at Mitsukoshi and an educator at the Japan School of Art the Imperial School of Fine Art and the Tama Imperial School of Art which he co-founded. He even spent two years in Europe in the early 20s researching design. He created many portfolios of design examples for professionals wrote treatises on the principles of design and was a tireless creator of posters and magazine covers. He began work at Mitsukoshi in 1908 as a design consultant in charge of cover art for the house organ MITSUKOSHI TIMES. When MITSUKOSHI magazine began in 1912 he had already been promoted to head of design for the company a year earlier and stayed in that position for decades. His artwork graced the covers of many magazines over the years but it was his work for MITSUKOSHI and MITSUKOSHI TIMES and OSAKA MITSUKOSHI that began his design career. We are offering here a group of issues of those magazines most with his brilliant cover art. The magazines as a form of trade catalog and guide to fashion for the well-heeled clientele of Mitsukoshi department store were intrinsically ephemeral. They are hefty magazines a vade mecum for the bon ton with pictures of summer frocks kimono fabrics morning coats shoes - with instructions on how they should be cleaned stored worn. With pictures and prices and order sheets. Useful and used then thrown away they are seldom found today. A gathering of this size is quite unusual especially as it begins with issues of MITSUKOSHI TIMES from 1908 - the year that Hisui took over design reponsibilities for the house organ. The issues: MITSUKOSHI TIMES 11 issues from 1908-13 Oct & Nov Meiji 41 1908; V.8 #s 4 & 6; V.10 #s 9 & 11; V.11 #s 4 7 11 & 14 V.12 #3.
