About this piece

An orange cover, loud as a lacquer tray.

This 19th century Japanese woodblock print book, ink on paper, has a bold orange cover. Volumes like this, often stitched along the right edge, were produced in numbers for reading and circulation. The cover is a saturated orange-red with a faint embossed pattern and a few creases. A narrow white label bears vertical characters along the left, with a numeral near the bottom. Fine stitching holds the pages together at the edge.

About 10 inches by 7. A small stack of these makes a very good Sunday.
