Book of Japanese wood block art with a wood block.
10 March 2023
Description

These were found in a hat box along with other antique Japanese items as well as unused postcards of the Japanese royal family during WW2. The book is bound by a thin string and I have been afraid to fully open it. The pictures inside are in very good condition. The wood block itself is in 2 pieces and features a dragon on the outside and writing on the inside.
