This horizontal-format volume (Waso-bon) is a significant cultural artifact showcasing the refined aesthetic of the Kamigata region. It features a striking color woodblock print cover and includes four exquisite color woodblock frontispiece illustrations that remain vibrant today. The contents include literary contributions and essays from celebrated figures of the era, including Nakamura Senjaku, Kishimoto Suifu, and Kamitsukasa Shoken. The book delves into the thematic elements of "Shinju" (double suicide), a prominent motif in Japanese Kabuki and literature, presented through the lens of early 20th-century artistic sensibilities. The woodblock printing techniques used for the cover and frontispieces represent the high quality of Showa-period craftsmanship. The item is in good vintage condition for its age. It shows some light tanning and minor foxing or staining, which is typical for paper items from the early 100s. The binding remains secure and the woodblock colors are well-preserved. This is a must-have for collectors of Japanese woodblock prints, antique literature, and regional Japanese history.
