Subject:Identify a japanese color wooblock book
Posted By: Frédéric S. Sat, Mar 24, 2018 IP: 176.130.21.141
Hi,
I have this beautiful book. There are 6 large double-page designs in color woodcut. The cover no longer exists unfortunately.
Could you help me to identify the artist and the date of this japanese publication ?
Many thanks in any advance for your help.
Best regards,
Frédéric S.

According to the colophon the book was published in
1905 (明治３８年）in Kyoto
Name of Publisher: Yamada Geisodo 山田艸堂
Name of Author: Furuya Kōrin 　古谷紅麟
(Furuya Kōrin 1875-1910, Japanese designer of woodblock
printed books)
Unfortunately the title page with title is missing.
On the page about the contents there are six flower
names written.

With regards,
I.Nagy
