First edition. Translated by Patrick Fulmer. Tall octavo. 92pp. Illustrated from calligraphy by the author. Text in both English and Japanese. Tiny nick at the spine base, a just about fine copy. Inscribed by Tei with an ink brush and Signed by him in both Japanese and English, along with his chop mark. We haven't been able to find out much about Tei (also known in the book as Isamu Itoh); his biographical statement notes that the established Ryuno Company Limited, the publisher of this book, in 1998. A nice production; *OCLC* seems to locates three copies, one in the U.S. (Hawaii).
