. Folio. Lvs. (26); (23); (25), interleaved. Japanese title and and colophon (four leaves), and seventy leaves with numerous woodblock printed designs of sarasa. Bound in the Japanese style. Original decorated paper covers, silk threads, paper title slips on upper covers (one loose).

The exotic colourful designs featuring floral and figurative motifs became enormously popular among the wealthy samurai and merchant classes. Production of domestic sarasa began in the late 1600s when skilled Japanese dye workers found a method to replicate the designs of Indian calicos. Seika Yamaga (1885-1981) was a weaving master active in Kyoto. An impressive and attractive work presenting a huge selection of striking abstract geometric and animal design. Published by the renowned printing company Uns›d› in Kyoto.
