Description :

"Surimono: Prints by Elbow" is a comprehensive study authored by Edythe Polster and Alfred H. Marks, published in 1980 by Lovejoy Press. This limited edition work, with only 1,050 copies printed, delves into the art of surimono, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints known for their exquisite craftsmanship and poetic inscriptions.

Book Details:

  • Format: The book spans 494 pages in a large folio format, measuring approximately 38.5 x 30 cm. It is bound in chartreuse silk cloth with white lettering on the front cover and spine. An errata slip and an additional page 49A are often included, addressing omissions from the initial print run. ***Note that page 49 A is included.

  • Content: Richly illustrated, the volume features numerous color reproductions of surimono prints, each accompanied by detailed descriptions and translations of the associated poetry. The preface by David Waterhouse and an introduction by Alfred H. Marks provide valuable context and insights into the cultural and historical significance of surimono.
