1937 Japanese Woodblock Print – Illustrated Encyclopedia of Japanese Sweets by Terada Kazuo (Copy)
Details
An original color woodblock-printed plate from Illustrated Encyclopedia of Japanese Sweets (Kokka Zukan) by Terada Kazuo, published in Osaka by Nishinomiya Shoin in 1937. This beautifully printed illustration features a selection of elegant traditional Japanese wagashi, including seasonal bean cakes, rolled sweets, and molded confections, each delicately rendered with soft colors and labeled in Japanese.
Printed using traditional woodblock techniques on quality paper, the reverse contains descriptive text explaining the featured sweets. Originally issued as part of a deluxe encyclopedia documenting Japan's rich confectionery traditions, these plates are prized for their refined design and historical significance.
Ready to be matted and framed, this original print is both a collectible work on paper and a sophisticated piece of Japanese decorative art.
Light age toning consistent with age.
