There are some scratches from storage and age-related stains. Although we have not checked every page, the main body is in good condition. Large format, approximately 38cm x 27cm, about 7cm thick. Limited edition, cloth-bound, housed in a case (with age-related fading). The main body is in beautiful condition. The original price at the time was 50,000 yen per copy. This is a very heavy book. I couldn't hold it with one hand. Volume 2 is also available. If you purchase both volumes as a set, I will sell them for 10,000 yen. Thank you.
