1552. [EHON] Tsukioka æoeˆå²¡ Tange 丹下 [SETTEI 雪鼎 ], artist. EHON TATSUTA-YAMA 繪æoe¬é¾�ç”°å±±. O^saka & Edo, Ho^reki 3 [1753]. According to the British Museum, the TATSUTAYAMA is Settei's earliest dated work of book illustration. His humurous scatalogical masterpiece ONNA DAIRAKU TAKARABAKO appeared two years earlier but certainly the TATSUTAYAMA is an early work. His ladies are graceful and supple though a bit less willowy than Harunobu's, his line delicate and his composition effective. Settei's works, though popular in his day, have not survived in great numbers. This copy is bound three volumes in one in the original covers, with a brushed title directly on the front cover. The condition overall is good, the impressions good. Very unusual book. .
