Book, English text.; Paperback.; 24.5 x 30 cm.; 0.4 Kg.; 56 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used with minor signs of wear on the exterior and interior. Very good condition overall.; "This book is the third in our series of studies devoted to life and culture in Japan. The first, Mirror of the Stage (1996), examined the prolific production of actor prints by Kunisada; the second, On the Margins of the City (1999), used contemporary prints and books as means of exploring recreation and entertainment in some of the peripheral urban districts of Edo, or present-day Tokyo. By contrast, this third study narrows its focus to a single, somewhat elusive figure from Kyoto, who flourished during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It distinguishes itself thus as the first study devoted entirely to the subject of Kawamura Bumpo and his artistic practice." excerpt from the foreword by Hilary Diaper, Keeper of the University Art Collections and Gallery. Catalogue from the exhibition Kawamura Bumpo: Aritist of Two Worlds held at The University Gallery Leeds in 2004. Very Good/No Jacket.
