Primary Colors of Japanese Art, Volume 19, 1967

Primary Colors of Japanese Art, Volume 19. A rare vintage Japanese art reference book published in 1967, part of the prestigious multi-volume series dedicated to the primary colors of Japanese art. A distinguished collector’s piece showcasing classical Japanese artistic traditions through rich full-color reproductions.

The Japanese book series Genshoku Nihon no Bijutsu (translated as Primary Colours of Japanese Art) was published by Shogakkan in Tokyo between 1966 and 1972. This extensive 30-volume series offers a comprehensive exploration of Japanese art, with each volume dedicated to a specific subject, such as ancient art, temples, sculptures, and various art forms like pottery and calligraphy.

This specific book volume focuses on Japanese ceramics. We love this book for its large size and graphic presence, even featuring it heavily in our photoshoots. The slip case is as beautiful as the book itself.
