Hyakunin Isshu zukō ogura no nishiki' 百人一首図考 小倉のにしき, volume 2- One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets- Nishiki designs, 芸艸堂, Kyōto : Unsōdō, 1935-37There are no copies for sale on the western market right now.
1 volume comprising 20 designs created by Kyoto-based Yuzen designer Iida Shiko. It is recorded that Iida was moved by Dr. Sasaki Nobutsuna's book of waka poems titled Hyakunin Isshu Kogi , and made the designs for this set of books, based on the doctor s work, over a period of five years. In Hyakunin Isshu Zuko Ogura no Nishiki , he transforms the meanings and backgrounds of famous Heian period poems into faithful images, which are recorded in gorgeous colour woodblock-printed illustrations. Original orihon accordion-folding binding.
Volume comes with a dated preface, two double printed pages with the names of the poets, their poems and annotations, and a colophon
Exterior cardboard with cloth worn and tear in some corners. Yellowish due to age, occasional foxing very few and nothing serious. Overall very good to near fine. Each volume has 24 leaves. 20 prints in total.
Gorgeous woodblocks, mica, gold and silver flakes and leaf are added to almost all designs, very delicate embossings. All pages are scanned and any damage can be seen. First half of the first design of the volume missing.
A truly rare treasure not to be missing from any collector's library. This is the first edition, Showa 10-12 (1935-1937). The original woodblocks, property of Unsodo, were lost/destroyed in the war so the few editions that followed were linotype or color collotype reproductions. They did made recarved blocks in recent years. A few copies are still available on japanese market, none available in western world.
Enjoy this feast of craftmanship!

No gory details.
Format: Paperback
While the “Donner Party” is a very disturbing topic from US history, I feel this book gently writes through the gory bits but keeps relevant to the suffering of those on Oregon Trail which makes this very suitable for young readers.

Engaging and Different!
Format: Hardcover
Looking for a new kid's author to try now that Harry Potter has retired to a quiet life out of the spotlight? Try Stuart Gibbs. His first novel, Belly Up, is an engaging mix of mystery, humor, and adventure (as well as lots of trivia about the animal kingdom ranging from the fascinating to the . . . well, I'll let you read the book!) The story takes place at FunJungle, a huge new zoo/amusement park filled with many colorful characters. When the not-so-loveable mascot of the park, Henry the Hippo, turns up (literally) dead one day, only 12-year old Teddy, the son of two zoo employees, recognizes that this was no random event and begins his investigation only to find himself a target.
The book is perfect for the 5th-8th grade crowd (although very enjoyable for us grown-ups who haven't quite grown up yet and still love well-crafted young adult titles). I'll definitely be following his next book (not a sequel to this but an adventure based on the Three Musketeers when they were younger) which looks like will be available this fall.

Amazing but one problem
Format: Kindle
I LOVE this book but the one problem is that there are curse words. I'm 12 and I'm aware that Stuart Gibbs curses but I feel like in this particular book he cursed a lot more than he
usually does but other than that I absolutely LOVED reading this I will get the whole series for sure! If you already have read this whole series and want to read more I highly recommend spy school ( all of them there are I believe 13 of them) and space case.

Fun for Kids of All Ages
Format: Paperback
Belly Up is a hit with my 8-year-old son, and even my 14-year-old can’t get enough of it! The story is funny, adventurous, and full of clever twists that appeal to both younger and older readers.
It’s perfect for kids who love animals, mystery, and humor — a book that keeps everyone hooked from start to finish.

LOVE book...but a few swear words....
Format: Paperback
I LOVE this book! I love the plot! But, I would of reviewed this book 5 stars if: First, there are a few swear words throughout the book! As a kid, I find it disappointing to find a couple swear words in a kids book! The swear words, (a**, h***,d***) are used very loosely. I mean come on! Adding those swear words do NOT add to the plot and just make the book a 4 star review. Also, as a devoted Christian, I also find it disappointing that the characters say a couple of things ( God knows...., God....). If you are going to buy this book, I would make sure you're fine with a bit of language and some stuff......The plot is lovely, definitely a mystery book. The book definitely makes you think and get engaged. Finished book in 5 days and want the rest of the series. But if you buy this book, be careful of the swear words. I will read this book again....
