Beschreibung

Katsushika Taito (active 1810-1854), a pupil of Hokusai, was considered the disciple most faithful to the great artist`s painting method and with the closest working relationship with him, having collaborated with Hokusai on several volumes of `Hokusai Manga`. `Ehon Tsuzoku Sangokushi` was an ambitious work in which Taito illustrated a selection of historical novels most praised in Japan and China. The first part of each of the eight `series` (with series one to seven containing ten parts and series eight containing five) contains several colour woodblock-printed illustrations, and all parts contain many black and white woodblock-printed illustrations. A rare complete set of Taito`s great work, in a nice impression and highly illustrated with portraits of famous Chinese figures in a dynamic style typical of a disciple of Hokusai. Original publisher`s wrappers, lightly worn, creased, and marked, with some chips to extremities. Small part of each original printed title slip removed and replaced with similarly coloured paper. Numbers on title slips handwritten. Light crease and stain to upper opening corner and gutter of volumes 5, 6 and 15. Minor wormholing to the upper margin of a few leaves in volume 12. Leaf numbers mixed in one or two places, misnumbered in others, but complete. Small occasional marks, stains, and discolouration to leaves, but overall near fine. 8 `series` (75 parts) bound in 15 volumes, complete. With a total of 2327 leaves. Text in Japanese. Colophon reads Tenpo 6 [1835] but probably a later printing from the Bakumatsu to early Meiji period [1860-70s]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 645
