[viii], 57(English text)pp.; [viii], 42(Japanese text)pp. Tokyo, Ogawa Kazumasa Shuppanbu, This work was produced as a result of the Commission sent by the Imperial University of Tokyo shortly after the Boxer Rebellion to investigate the layout and decoration of the Palace Buildings in the Forbidden City. It is the first photographic survey of the Forbidden City which had hitherto been inaccessible to the outside world. Ogawa Kazuma (1860-1929) the best publisher of collotype books in Japan, photographed and produced the superb, large-size plates. The famous architectural scholar Ito Chuta (1867-1954) oversaw this project and was given unprecedented access to the palaces. This set is the de-luxe issue with embroidered silk bindings in wooden boxes. It is uniformly bound and it is rare to find both publications together. ?These pictures, numbering above 170 in all, form such a comprehensive set that all the important views and edifices within the city are represented therein. In view of their rare value as materials for architectural study, especially on account of the secrecy with which all the Palace grounds are jealously kept from public sight, we have given our permission to Mr. Ogawa to publish the with accompanying explanatory notes in Japanese, Chinese, and English.? (Preface to ?Photographs of Palace Buildings of Peking?). ?In 1901, when Peking was occupied and garrisoned by the Allied Forces during the Boxers? Trouble, we despatched there a commission consisting of Assist. Professor Ito Chiuta, Kogaku-hakushi, of the College; Tsuchiya Jiun-ichi, Kogakushi, Member of the University Hall; Assist. Expert Okuyama Tsunegoro of the College; and Photographer Ogawa Kazumasa; with the instructions to prosecute architectural and decorative investigations of the buildings in the Forbidden City and other Palace Grounds; in which undertaking we were afforded an aid by the Imperial Museum of Tokyo in the form of a contribution towards the funds for the expenses of photographs.? (Preface to ?Decoration of Palace Buildings of Peking?).

No Binding. Condition: Near Fine. Chuta Ito (1867-1954) was a professor of architecture at Tokyo University.  He sought the origins of Japanese architecture in China, Korea and Mongolia. The Japanese government sent him to study Western architecture in the United States, and he traveled to Europe along the silk road (Birma, India, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Europe), studying Asian Medieval ruins along the way. Upon his return, attitudes towards Asian antiquity started a long process of change. Under Chuta Ito s  protection, many of the remains of such cultural heritage were preserved.  The Forbidden Palace is one example. The present book tells the story of when the palace was abandoned after the flight of the Emperor to Manchuria. The book is illustrated with collotype reproductions and hand-coloured woodblock prints of decorations and architectural plans. Curiously, the rare people depicted in the images are not staffers, but the lonely eunuchs, or cangan, of the Imperial Court. The present book is a rare smaller edition of the first bigger, even rarer version.  One volume complete, with original purple cloth slipcase. The slipcase, slightly discoloured, has some damage. 102 plates plus 10 title, contents & colophon page complete. Minor foxing on the plates otherwise very good to near fine condition.  Text in Japanese. Extra shipping charges may be applied due to size and weight of item.
