1974. SORIMACHI Shigeo, editor. KO^BUNSO^ KOHANPON MOKUROKU. Tokyo: Ko^bunso^, Sho^wa 49 [1974]. Large folio, bound in red cloth, illustrated in b+w and colors. 300 items. 1 of 1300 copies. This catalogue is particularly interesting, with a heavy emphasis on printed Japanese literature and history and art, both religious and secular, Sorimachi was the most eminent antiquarian bookman of the postwar period in Japan. His book and manuscript catalogues serve as an invaluable reference. At times it almost seemed that every great book that appeared on the market in Japan or anywhere else in the world had passed at some time or another through Sorimachi's hands. This catalogue is in Japanese throughout. In very good condition. .
