This is a collection of masterpieces of Japanese paintings, published in commemoration of Dentsu's 80th anniversary (1981). This art book is often seen on other auction sites and flea market sites. Personally, I think it's a very impressive art book, but I'm surprised that people who don't know its value are listing it at extremely low prices. According to the preface, it includes works from the ancient Yayoi period bronze bell paintings, the Shosoin "Treasures," classic Japanese paintings, and even Ukiyo-e from the late Edo period. It aims to trace the progress of excellent Japanese culture through 100 representative masterpieces that have depicted the culture of each era over more than two thousand years. You can deepen your understanding not only by looking at the illustrations but also by reading the commentaries by Mr. Sadao Kikuchi and others on the left-hand pages. ※ The outer cardboard case is severely damaged and discolored, so it has been discarded. Only the book itself is for sale. ※ It is perfectly suitable for viewing, and there are no scratches, tears, or missing pages. However, as it is a used book from over 40 years ago, although there is no significant discoloration on the illustrations, please understand that the white pages and edges have age-related yellowing, stains, and discoloration. ※ Although I have checked it thoroughly with an amateur's eye, there may be oversights. Also, due to the nature of the product, returns are not accepted. ・Published: January 1, 1981 ・Publisher: Dentsu Inc. ・Production: Dentsu Publishing Division ・Supervision: Tokyo National Museum (Sadao Kikuchi, Keio Nakamura, Iwao Murai) ・English Translation: Shigetaka Kaneko ・Title Calligraphy: Koshō Shimizu, Abbot of Todai-ji Temple ・Printing: Benrido Co., Ltd. ・Pages: 232 ・Size: 393 x 354 x 23mm ※ Please refrain from requesting unreasonable price reductions under the guise of wanting to purchase. ※ I will respond to questions as quickly as possible, but if I judge that you have not replied or have evaded the question (after 6 hours), I will block your ID and delete the relevant comment. ※ If you decide not to buy after consideration, I will also delete the relevant comment. #JapanesePainting #MasterpieceSelection #Dentsu #NotForSale #NationalTreasure #ImperialHouseholdAgency #HistoricalSite #ImportantCulturalProperty #Takanori Fujiwara #Takakane Takashina #KanoSchool #Tawaraya Sotatsu #Ogata Korin #Miyagawa Choshun #Ito Jakuchu #Suzuki Harunobu #Katsukawa Shunsho #Kitagawa Utamaro #Utagawa Toyokuni #Sakai Hoitsu #Reizei Tamechika #Shosoin #Ukiyo-e #JapanesePainting #LargeFormatBook #Illustration #Catalog #Art #FineArts #Painting
