Hardbound. Green library buckram with gilt lettering and designs. Gilt-decorated endpapers. Unpaginated. 41 colotype plates of photographs. Supplement only. Photographs by K. Ogawa. A nice, collectible copy with a few printing flaws. 40 plates are listed, though one is mistakenly inserted twice. G. Ex-library with usual marks, sticker on spine and fep. Wear to covers, including small spots in cloth/page edgings and rubbing/chipping along edges and corners. Only a very slight separation of spine on first blank page with gutter exposed, but binding remains tight. Pages are age toned with occasional excess aging along edges, but are overall clean. A few ripped bottom page edges, though not noticeable enough to detract from content. Some thin paper covers over plates have crinkles, rips, creases, other wear. Overall less than pristine but an excellent, clean volume for collectors, with the following printing flaws: plate XVII's text is inserted twice; plate XVIII is inserted twice; and plate XXV's text is inserted upside-down.

Just a touch of very light scuffing at the front panel's lower-edge, handsome former owner armorial bookplate to the front pastedown. Folio, patterned, illuminated endsheets. 40 wonderful collotypes by K. Ogawa, all in near-pristine condition with their accompanying tissue guards, which have protected them well.

Tokio, The Maruzen Kabushiki Kaisha - Tokio, Reprinted by the Shuyeisha, 1912. 2 voll. in-folio piccolo (36 x 27), pp. XI+(1)+161, con 55 ill. xilografiche nel testo e 36 tavv. f.t. (num. I-XXXVI) in xilografia bitonale; pp. (48) e 40 tavv. fotografiche in collotipia (num. I-XL) con testo a fronte. Bella legatura editoriale in piena tela verde, piatti anteriori con titoli racchiusi in grande raffigurazione di tipico giardino giapponese impressa in oro. Bell'esemplare. (8381) Bella e importante opera, ad uso degli appassionati occidentali di giardinaggio, relativa all'arte del giardino in Giappone, ove ne viene trattata la storia e, attraverso l'ampia documentazione fornita dal corredo illustrativo di incisioni nel testo e di tavole f.t., descritta l'architettura, solitamente arricchita da elementi coreografici come piccole pagode, lanterne luminose, ponticelli, recinti e cancelletti di bambù, roccette, laghetti, ruscelli, cascatelle d'acqua etc. "The present work is an exposition of the rules and theories of the Art of Landscape Gardening in Japan, from ancient to modern times. To those desirous of reproducing elsewhere a model garden after the correct Japanese fashion, these copiously illustrated volumes should afford some aid. Robbed of its local garb and mannerism the Japanese method reveals aesthetic principles applicable to gardens of any country, teaching how to convert into a poem a composition which, with all its variety of detail, otherwise lacks unity and intent" (dalla Prefazione dell'A.). Al fine del 1° vol. indice dei nomi e delle piante raffigurate. Il volume di Supplemento è dedicato principalmente alle decorazioni dei giardini di Kinakuij, Gingakuij e del palazzo imperiale. Tutte le grandi tavole di questo supplemento sono collotipie dell'allora notissimo artista-fotografo giapponese Ogawa Kazuna, che si sposano perfettamente con la serenità dei soggetti raffigurati.

An excellent resource. * WHO WAS JOSIAH CONDER: Josiah Conder, the father of Japanese architecture of the many foreign architects invited to Japan in the last quarter of the 19th century, Conder was the man who made the biggest impact on the Japanese. A graduate of the Royal Institute of British Architects, where he was a pupil of William Burgess, Conder was awarded the institute's prestigious Soane Prize in 1876, recognition of his talent and potential. In 1877, aged 25, Conder arrived in Japan, where he served concurrently as professor of architecture at the Imperial College of Engineering, and as consultant to the Building and Repair Division of the Ministry of Public Works. He was to remain in Japan until his death in 1920, devoting his life to modernizing Japan's architectural technology. . Between 1878 and 1907, Conder designed over 50 major Western-style buildings in Tokyo. These included the Tokyo Imperial Museum in Ueno (1881), the largest brick building in Japan of its day, the Kaitakushi Bussan Urisabakijo [1881], a marketplace for selling produce from Hokkaido, and the Rokumeikan state reception hall (1883), a symbol of the Meiji government's Westernizing aspirations. Conder built in a variety of styles, ranging from Gothic to Renaissance to Tudor to Moorish, contributing to the progressive, eclectic appearance of Meiji period architecture while suggesting he was struggling to find a suitable idiom for Japan. For example, the Tokyo Imperial Museum showed Islamic Indian influence, the Kaitakushi building Victorian Gothic tendencies, and the Rokumeikan English Renaissance tastes. . For the Meiji administration, however, which sought a more mainstream European style, Conder's approach proved a little too wide-ranging, and in due course he set up his own firm, although he continued to advise the government. Conder went into private practice in 1888. His commissions included the first Mitsubishi building in the redbrick Marunouchi district of Tokyo [1894], a residence in Yushima for Hisaya Iwasaki [1896] and the Mitsui Club in Mita, used by the Mitsui family for entertaining [1913]. He paid full attention to interiors as well as exteriors, so that these residences were perfectly coordinated, and all his projects bore his distinctive touch. As the Imperial College of Engineering's chief instructor for the Engineering Science Department, Conder organized lessons and delivered lectures. His courses covered everything from ancient Egyptian through Indian to contemporary European architecture, and focused on construction techniques using wood, brick and stone. . Conder also gave demonstrations on site, such as at the Tokyo Imperial Museum, ensuring that he not only taught theory but also gave his students a solid practical training as well. . Many of Condor's pupils went on to become pillars of the Japanese architectural establishment. Among his first group of graduates were Tatsuno Kingo, who designed Tokyo Station, and Toukuma Katayama, responsible for the Akasaka Detached Palace [State Guest House]. * Condor was also a patron of Japanese arts and artists. His high watermark work on Japanese gardens stands today as the pinnacle and a classic on the subject. All of his several titles remain superb reference works on the subjects he loved and devoted his life to. The contribution from his Japanese wife was major. . He encouraged K. Ogawa a famous photographer even at that time to contribute the stunning photos for this book. Please inquire with us for other albums and individual photos by this photographer. *** THE EDITION: The 1912 revised 2 volume edition is the best of the two editions. *** CONDITION: Contents is remarkable clean, and with the tissue guards. The endpapers are quite clean and bright. *** This is a large and heavy set, apropriate packing, insurance and postage apply. *.
