[EHON] [NAKAYAMA SU^GAKUDO^], Shasei SHIJU^-HACHI TAKA GAJO^.
1888. [EHON] [Nakayama SUGAKUDO]. Shasei SHIJU-HACHI TAKA GAJO. Tokyo, et al., Hakubunsha, 1888. 36 x 23.2 cm. Orihon folding album, in cloth-covered boards with printed paper title label, of 48 color woodcut images of birds and flowers after designs done by Sugakudo, an important student of Hiroshige, for a series of prints printed circa 1860. This set from recut blocks was printed under the supervision of Nagao Keihitsu, for the publishing house Hakubunsha. Clearly, the same team of skilled engravers and printers who had worked on Taki Katei's album of birds, done at the same time for Hakubunsha, worked on this album as well. The images are titled in both English and Japanese. The printing is exquisite, the colors lovely, in excellent impression and condition. Complete, as issued. Very scarce and lovely work.
