OUT NOW: Tosogu Classroom Volume 4

[Markus]

Ladies and gentlemen, we are making progress on all fronts! Volume 4 (660 pages) of the Tosogu Classroom project is completed and ready to go. I am initiating the orders for those who have prepaid for the set. As always, if you have any questions, or would like to inform me about an address change, please get in touch with me via markus.sesko@gmail.com.

Forgot to add: For those who did not have prepaid, you can purchase Volume 4 at any time as well. Also, I would like to sincerely thank @Grey Doffin and Barry Hennick for their continuous support proofreading this series! My English can cause serious head-scratching sometimes 😇

Hi Markus

I can't find this book on LuLu

 

[Markus]

Hi Grev, the project is a joint-venture of the JSS/US and NBTHK AB and EB, and the conditions were laid out that the set will only "go live" when it is completed, i.e., all five volumes out. Until then, it will be direct order through me. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks

Can you give me an idea on the #4 content?

What do have in mind for #5?

Hi @Markus!

 

I am sending you an email now.

Hi Grev @kissakai, I am attaching an index here. Volume 5 will contain the big Mito School, plus a couple of others that didn't fit in Volume 4, but much of Volume 5 will be the color part of selected pieces for most schools/artists introduced throughout all volumes.

Congratulations Markus, your contributions to the field are immeasurable really. 

@Markus would you be able to post the indexes for volumes 1-3 as well?

I'm wondering which ones would be most suitable to my specific areas of interest 

Thanks.

Hi @Markus! Thank you for posting the index of volume #4 of Tosogu Classroom. This is really helpful. I decided to get this volume and have send you an email confirming my address as such, even though it contains many schools that I not really interested in actively collecting. The Suishinshi Masahide School is one school I would love to learn more about before collecting a few nice examples of their work.
