Ehon (illustrated books) span the gamut from the fantastical to the practical. Monsters strike and warriors clash through tales of history and legend, indulging the imagination. Travel guides invite armchair adventures, while drawing manuals and pattern books spread culture and style. Many woodblock print artists of the 18th-19th century also worked as illustrators, bringing their signature styles to readers past and present. This collection includes a selection of ehon from the Edo and Meiji Periods from artists such as Hokusai, Hiroshige, Eisen, and Bairei. Highlights include a complete 3-volume set of Hokusai’s 100 Views of Mt. Fuji and a complete 3-volume set of Bairei’s Album of 100 Birds.
