[Papermaking, Korean] Goto^ Seikichiro^ — Kankoku No Kami

1980. [Papermaking, Korean] Goto Seikichiro. KANKOKU NO KAMI. Tokyo, Gohachi, Showa 55 [1980]. Orihon folding album (24 x 18.3 cm) in block-printed paper covers. Number 12 of a limited edition of 150 copies and is signed and sealed by Goto, certainly the most important historian of East Asian papermaking in the post-war era. It is one of the few works ever done on Korean papermaking, and is the third in a three part series on Asian papermaking undertaken by Goto in the late 1970s, though it is complete in itself. The book contains one paper sample, 21 stencilled plates, and informative text (in Japanese) all on lovely rough brown handmade paper. It is as new in a printed white paper covered folding case. .
