Description:
"Juni Hito-e" (Twelve-layered Kimono alluded to Twelve Months). 12 sheets "ori-hon" (accordion format) picture album. Although several pictures have heavy creases, the album is intact, and the printing quality is very good. Rather rare to have a complete album of this series because most of the time, the sheets would be separated to be sold. When the pages are opened the album has a size of 35x25cm. It contains twelve prints which are pasted together in a leporello fold. Personal Dedication written in ink on the first page. Silk cover.
