1845 -Japanese Handwritten and Hand Drawn Ikebana - Flower Arranging

0. Soft cover. Handwritten, Circa 1840-50, approx 50 handwritten pages with ink drawings. Ikebana (???, "living flowers") is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. The tradition dates back to the 7th century when floral offerings were made at altars. Later, they were placed in the tokonoma (alcove) of a home. Ikebana reached its first zenith in the 16th century under the influence of Buddhist tea-masters and has grown over the centuries, with over 1,000 different schools in Japan and abroad. Ikebana is counted as one of the three classical Japanese arts of refinement, along with kodo for incense appreciation, and chado for tea and the tea ceremony. The book exhibits channels from a long past infestation, however it reads well. Good/not applicable.

American Faces

0. Hardcover. Book, The form of tintype known as a "gem" is a small photographic image usually anywhere from 3/4" to 1" wide and 1¼" high made possible by the use of a multi-lens camera with repeating back which therefore could produce multiple exposures on a single photographic plate. In terms of quantity, the gem was the most prolifically produced form of photograph during the late 1850s-1860s in America. The gem's small size made it suitable for mounting in jewelery such as lockets and broaches. Like daguerreotypes and ambrotypes, hand coloring was also possible and rouging of the subject's cheeks was the most common form of this. Here are 77 gem tintypes on 10 double sided pages. There are 3 empty slots. Entire album is approximately 3 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches. About 63 tintypes are in very good condition. About 8 have various degrees of crazing. Some of these are essentially in good condition, but some in fair condition. About 6 have bends, but still good condition. : Wear to the album, and clasp is missing. Good.

Anti-America Chinese Propaganda

0. No Binding. Poster, The Cultural Revolution which took place between circa1966 and 1976 was a social/ political movement. Mao Tse Tung, then Chairman of the ruling Communist Party started this movement to reinforce strict communist dogma. Capitalism and traditional Chinese culture were to be obliterated. Big-character posters were used to denounce people as opponents of the Revolution. Red Guards (pupils and students who swear loyalty to Mao and his Little Red Book) destroy anything that is branded 'old' and eliminate people considered 'rightists'. The posters also were part of the campaign to respond to particular issues as they arose locally or nationally. The Cultural Revolution plunges China into turmoil and internal strife; the country is in chaos, but the posters only show enthusiasm. Approx. 20x30 inches, in nice collectible shape. Good.
