About This Item
1954. KITASONO Katue, poet. SUEMATSU Masaki, artist. MAHIRU NO REMON. Tokyo, Shoshinsha, 1954. Small Folio, 27.2 x 18.7 cm. Out of series copy from the standard limited edition of 300 copies. There was also a large format special edition of 30cc. This example is distinguished by the fact that it is inscribed by Kitasono to the literary critic, poet and translator, Ando Ichiro (1907-72), who wrote important critical work on Kitasono.. Has 3 full page color prints by Suematsu Masaki (1908-97). An example of Kitasono's "plastic poetry". The dustwrapper, hardcover and the typography all combine as a fluid visual container for Kitasono's brilliant poems. There is not space here to even begin to describe Kitasono's importance to world art and literature. I would refer you to the several works of John Solt, both translations and critical essays, as well as several exhibitions dedicated to Kitasono mounted here and in Europe, as well. Slight browning, else fine condition, complete as issued.
