Beautiful, Kenzan, Seasonal Vegetables 2004 MIHO MUSEUM This item was stored on a bookshelf at home. Both the illustrations and text within the book are in good condition. The cover was kept in a nylon cover, so the cover itself is clean, but the nylon cover had deteriorated significantly, and when I removed it, the flaps of the cover, which were held in place with tape, slightly peeled up. (See photo) There is some yellowing on the top edge. The side and bottom edges are clean. Includes English translation of the explanatory text.
