Mukimono Textbook: 50 Flower Carvings By Hiroshi Hiyama Published in 1973 This is a used book from fifty years ago. There is yellowing, stains, and wear. It's a well-used book, but the main body is in relatively good condition, I think. It shows a lot of use. Please do not purchase if you are sensitive to condition. There are no problems with reading it. For those who are okay with just being able to read it. I can't bear to throw it away. If you are interested in fifty-year-old culinary carving, please make use of it. This is an old book that will be difficult to obtain in the future.
