Original soiled and darkened yellow-brown covers with a karazuri printed large reishi mushroom. The bibliographical details of this copy correspond upon inspection to the copy from the Pulverer collection, now in the Smithsonian. Interestingly enough, Hishiya Magobei, the printer, has included an ad for their related back stock, but the ad is dated 1818, though the preface to this book is dated 1820.. Mitchell p. 362-3 Bartlett and Shiohara, page 528. Soiling and wear to the covers an the title slip is partly effaced. Very nice printing quality and colors with occasional splashed ink on a few pages.. Priced accordingly. With an Isseido label inside dated 1940. In a clasped chitsu case. The KIMPAEN GAFU is often regarded as one of the important artist Bumpo's most intriguing picture books.. The contrast of light and dark, bright flowers and subdued foliage in early printings is quite remarkable.. The printing here is early and captures the effect very well. .
