C115.  Tosogu Yuhin Zufu by Sasano and others.  18 volumes.  1986 to 1995.  #s 1 to 15 are loose sheets in a soft cover (# 15 is a Xerox copy), 8 ¼ x 11 ¾”, between 15 and 27 pages each.  All of these volumes are bound in a hard cover string tied binding.  The last 3 volumes are softbound, 7 x 10”, between 40 and 47 pages each, all in Japanese (see my 2nd picture for the set you are buying).  This is the journal of a study group that Mr. Sasano headed, and publication ceased at # 18 after Mr. Sasano’s death.  Complete sets of this journal almost never come for sale; I know of no other sets available online anywhere.  Photos, most black & white and some in color, and discussion of truly great fittings.

Except for slight sun fading on the spines of 16, 17, & 18, condition is like new.  These are with a trusted consignor to my site; he will ship from the US and my usual guarantee applies. 5 pounds, 15 ounces.  Was $900, now $500. Note: Volume 15 is a Xerox copy.
