【Rare! Taisho 8 First Edition!!】 #HardToFind #NotForSale #ExtremelyRareBook This is a masterpiece on antique art and old art, also mentioned in "The Path I Walked" included in Hirota Fuko's "Kotto Ura Omote." First editions are rare and seldom seen. This is a valuable book distributed to close acquaintances at the time. It is also an important historical document. In Taisho 8, the year that Kokodo celebrated its 100th anniversary, the then owner Sakujiro Nakamura had something in mind and published "Kokodo Ichigen," which compiled the history, value, and evaluation of art, as well as the principles of art dealers. It is presumed that it was presumptuous for an art dealer to write a book related to academics at the time, but I believe that Sakujiro wanted to convey various things about the art world of the time to future generations. #EyeOfTheEye #SmallBuds #HorseTreadingDawn #AntiqueArt #Tobi #JapanCeramicAssociation #TokyoArtClub #TobiSpecialExhibition #TobiArtFair #Kokodo #ThePathITook #HirotaFuko #Kochukyo #NandemoKanteidan (What's It Worth?) #JapaneseBoundBook #Tomoko Sawada
