Publisher's Comments
Reprint in reduced size of the original edition published by the Book Club of California, San Francisco in 450 copies. That edition was designed by Jonathan Clark at The Artichoke Press. Antiquarian Colin Franklin explores the rich history of calligraphy, printing, and bookmaking in Japan; supplemented by examples from his extensive collection of Japanese books and scrolls. There are 93 beautiful color plates with the text set in Scripps College Old Style, originally designed by Frederic W. Goudy. Decorations throughout the book are taken from traditional Japanese patterns
