About the Item

Immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of ancient Japanese poetry with "Sword and Blossom Poems, Volume II" from Hasegawa Publishing. This exquisite book presents a captivating blend of "sword" poems, inspired by the warrior spirit of bushido, and "blossom" poems, delicate compositions on nature drawn from the Kokin Wakashū. Each page of this meticulously crafted album features Japanese imagery intricately carved and printed using the traditional woodblock technique, accompanied by English translations of the timeless verses. Delve into the world of Japanese art and literature, with illustrations by renowned artists including Arai Yoshimune, Shoda Koho, Kason Suzuki, Baison, and Hiroshige. While the exterior of the book shows signs of wear, with the cover boards creped in the traditional Hasegawa fashion, the interior remains in good condition, offering readers a glimpse into the beauty of ancient Japanese poetry. This volume is a treasure for collectors and enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of artistic expression and cultural heritage. Covers are creped paper over padded boards.
