Welcome to the Beautiful Book Boutique. AbeBooks has millions of books, many of which are rare books, collectible books, antiquarian books or unique books. They range in subject from religious volumes and bibles to cookbooks and science fiction. And every day, thousands of books sell and thousands more are added from booksellers all over the world.
This time around our feature showcases beautiful, Japan-themed books. When we think of Japan in terms of design and motif, we think of cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji, fans, lanterns, the rising sun, chrysanthemums, geishas and more, all of which makes for some very pretty art.
The Japanese are world-famous for simple, elegant, practical and graceful design, and those elements are reflected nowhere more strongly than in the covers of old books about Japan, or by Japanese authors.
Please note: prices are approximate to within a small margin, as currencies fluctuate. Quantity on rare books extremely limited; copies on display may sell quickly.
