Monday, 28 March 2005 A few years after the death of Torii Kotondo in 1976, Ishukankokai, a Tokyo publisher, republished his famous bijin prints from the late 1920s and early 1930s. Those prints are among the most expensive pre-WWII prints, and it is obvious that this 1980s project was meant to offer these designs at more reasonable prices. Fortunately, Ishukankokai did not cut any corners. This standards with which this set was published were incredibly high: the quality of the paper, the carving and the printing are all unsurpassed. In my pictures I have tried to give an impression of the quality of this publication, but 'the real thing' has to be seen to be believed. |
