No writing. Instant purchase is welcome. "How to Look at Paintings, Taught by the Masters" Visual Design Institute Price: ¥1850 I bought this for my child who became interested in paintings at the museum. We are complete beginners, both parent and child, but I think it's easy to read as a starting point. Please take a good look at the photos for reference, and consider that this is a used item before purchasing. We are refraining from price negotiations. Thank you for your understanding. m(_ _)m
