xii, 136 pp. Illustrated with color and b&w plates, tipped in frontispiece. Cloth, jacket. First Edition. The first printing of what is essentially a "how-to" book by one of the great modern masters of the Japanese wood-block print, Yoshida. Four of the plates are original color wood-block prints showing the successive stages in the ordering of the printed blocks; a fifth is a "special" print from the same block, and the frontispiece is a reduced version of a popular Yoshida print printed specially for this edition (the larger original was in 1933).
