Japanese Prints

By James A. Michener USED BOOK, Near fine condition. Darkening on page edges, minor shelf wear.  Combining the finished literary style of an outstanding novelist with a mature knowledge of his subject, Michener is able to bring this great art form to life in words, directly communicating his understanding, love, and enthusiasm rather than obscuring this subject in pedantry. Illustrating the book with lesser-known masterpieces, he puts on display prints made up to 1958, just before this book was published.  Hardcover, with original cardboard book sleeve.  287 pages © Charles E. Tuttle Co., 1959
