Sekino, Jun'ichirō (1914 - 1988)

Venus no tanjō (ヴイナスの誕生) - The birth of Venus
Album size: 26.2 x 34.5 cm. Number 74 from an edition of 100, self-printed by Sekino in 1949. In detail 1 you can see all pages (with the fingertips of the person holding the pages down); the woodblock-printed pages are clearly distinguishable from the etchings - so you often see a woodblock print and an etching on one large page, which was then folded in the middle. The album has got thick, stiff covers.

Euro 1350

Very good overall condition; one page has got some staining along the inside edge.
