Description
No no musume-tachi (野 の 娘 た ち ) - Daughters of the field Cassette with ten prints, each 32.8 x 42 cm. Published by the Nihon Aishokai (日 本 愛 書 会 ), Japan Bibliophile Society, in 1961, in an edition of 170. Each print has an imprint verso:前 川 千 帆 作 野 の 娘 た ち (Maekawa Senpan saku: No no musume-tachi). However, unlike other sets the first print (shown large) does not have this imprint, but is signed in pencil and has the red Maekawa Senpan lifetime seal bottom left, so this is a lifetime impression, made shortly before his death. Detail 1 shows the other nine prints, detail 2 the linen cassette, the flyleaf showing the title, and the imprint verso on nine of the ten prints.
Condition
Fine impressions and colours, very good to fine condition: The first print has a small piece of tape residue top, a few of the other nine prints have a few very light foxing spots.
