Hundreds of butterflies soar and drift across the page. Each panel of this orihon book, a traditional Japanese format, stands on its own visually, yet is also designed to lead to the next panel so that the flight itself appears to glide, panel after panel, before the viewer. The accordion format, which unfolds to more than forty feet, also allows the book to be displayed as a delightful art object."--Insert ; green cloth boards with color pastedown ; slight crease to first fold ; a few indications of prior handling, else FINE in FINE slipcase..
