Works span from the Kamakura period up to the 1940's.  This unique book is richly illustrated with over 80 high resolution images, many of winch are full-page composites of multiple photographs.  The photography in this book presents the opportunity to study jigane and hataraki in combination with detailed text explanations, creating an excellent learning resource.

I apologize for the slow response to the SF question and E Book question.   

 

There will not be any copies at the SF show.   I am not able to attend that show.  I wish I could :-) 

 

 The eBook is going to take some time.  (I have to make an ePub for that)     Thank you!
