Heiwa no hana: shinsaku ["Flowers of peace: a new work"]

Ōyagi, Shungyō [edited by].

Kyōto: Unsōdō, Taishō 9 [1920].

A scarce Unsōdō publication filled with innovative patterns for textiles in collotype. The book was prefaced and edited by the little-known artist Shungyō, who produced at least five other works in the late Meiji to Taishō period with Unsōdō. The album may have been produced as a catalogue to accompany an exhibition (mentioned in the preface) held at the department store Takashimaya.

One stab-bound (musubitoji) volume, presumed complete, on single leaves. Original boards, worn, scraped, browned, and creased. Leaves lightly discoloured and with a few small marks. Ex-dealer's sticker to lower pastedown. [1, 49] leaves. 25.7 x 18.6 cm.
