Bemerkung:

One of only 280 numbered copies. Interesting view of this universal theme. Thought after work by the famous Japanese artist. Rare! Keisuke Serizawa (1895 - 1984) was a Japanese designer. In 1956, he was designated as a Living National Treasure by the Japanese Government for his katazome stencil dying technique. From the illustrated books he was producing, the here present Don Quijote, was his best book publication. Here he presents the universal theme by Cervantes in the style of Sumurai fighters in an unique way. It is a completely different view to this famous book, not like the most cummon illustrations. - Printed on special Japanese paper. With the full-page original woodcuts by the famous Japanese artist. Interesting illustrations of this universal theme by Cervantes. Housed in the original laque-box, with the card-board slipcase and the relating documents - A very mint copy. - Even in Japan rare.
