Key Details About This Piece:
- The Artist: Keisuke Serizawa was a leading figure in Japan's Mingei (folk art) movement. He was designated a Living National Treasure by the Japanese government in 1956 for his mastery of Katazome (traditional stencil-dyeing techniques).
- The Design: Because 1970 was the Year of the Dog in the Chinese/Japanese zodiac, the red central label features a stylized illustration of a dog.
- The Medium: Each page inside is meticulously hand-stenciled and dyed using natural pigments on handcrafted mulberry paper (washi).
In excellent condition. Pages measure about 15 x 11.
