shino book heads up

Hello All,
To any who may be interested: I wanted to let you know that I recently
found a copy of Arakawa Toyozo's SHINO at an antique book store and have
posted it to Ebay. Listing number is 7314718420.

The book is in really good condition (printed in 1959), hardcover, and full
of really nice photos. This is an older edition, so fewer color plates than
the recent reprints, however I have found that the B/W plates draw more
attention to the glaze surface textures, perhaps because the distraction of
color is not present.

This listing on Ebay has all the relevant details.

If you have any additional questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

This is a pretty hard to find book, even here in Japan. The only reason I'm
putting it up is that I have another older cloth cover copy as part of the
whole Toki Zenshu series of which this book is no.4.


Thanks,

Mike
