Author: Kazuo Iida
Publisher: Tōken shunjū, 2010
ISBN: 978-4-86366-081-6
Language: Japanese and some English
Illustrations: Color and black and white pictures
Other: 320+9 pages, 26 cm by 18.5 cm, softcover
Topics: Menpō, Sōmen
ID: B0203


This is as far as I know the only serious book on menpō . Several of the examples in the book have become famous and have ended up in big collections. This is a reprint in softcover from the hardcover version from 1991 (B0014). The pictures in the big hard cover edition are slightly better in my eyes.

This is as far as I know the only serious book on menpō . Several of the examples in the book have become famous and have ended up in big collections. En reprint in softcover was published a few years ago (see B0203). The pictures in this big hard cover edition are slightly better in my eyes.
