THE SILENT FIREFLY JAPANESE SONGS OF LOVE AND OTHER THINGS

by Sackheim, Eric [ trans]

  • Used
  • Hardcover
Tokyo: Kodansha, 1963. Octavo. Cloth-backed marbled boards, paper labels. Woodblock illustrations by Kitao Masami. Light wear to a couple of corners, else very good in a lightly worn pictorial slipcase. First edition. Signed by the translator, Eric Sackheim. An anthology of popular Japanese folk songs, some dating back to the Seventh Century. Each chapter is preceded by a quote from an American blues artist, which, in an odd way, ties in with the nature of the songs. A curious little book.

We have 6 copies available starting at £6.49.
