This "Chinese Grottoes" is a historical and groundbreaking large-format book of 17 volumes and 18 books, compiled and published in collaboration between Heibonsha and the Cultural Relics Publishing House, the publishing division of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage of China, summarizing the research of China's representative grottoes. The reason for 17 volumes and 18 books is that Volume 5 of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang is divided into two books: the main volume and the general record (see photo 3).

The biggest drawback to the main body is a small stain, about the size of a small bean, on the edge of the second volume of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. It is believed that there are almost no other items in such good condition, with all volumes and books complete, all volumes with boxes, all volumes with monthly reports (see photo 9), and appendix materials (see photo 10), without any yellowing, page folds, underlining, or writing. This is a beautiful and rare masterpiece. Shipping will be in two packages. No individual sales.
