Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Published in conjunction with the 1994 Minneapolis Institute of Arts exhibition Otsu-e: Japanese Folk Paintings from the Harriet and Edson Spencer Collection, this beautifully produced softcover catalog remains one of the most informative English-language… resources on Otsu-e - the lively popular paintings once sold as traveler's souvenirs along the T?kaid? road in the Edo period (1600-1868). Essays provide a clear historical overview, explore characteristic themes and motifs, and situate these playful, sometimes satirical images within broader Japanese folk and woodblock traditions. High-quality photographic plates and detailed object entries offer a strong visual and scholarly foundation for students, collectors, and curators. This copy is in Near Fine condition, unusually well-preserved for a museum-issued softcover. The covers remain clean and bright, with only the faintest touches of surface rubbing to the rear green panel and minimal edge wear. Interior pages are crisp, unmarked, and fresh, and the binding is tight with no signs of use beyond very gentle handling. A superior example of a title often found with heavier wear. A first and only edition (1994), the catalog was designed by Ruth Dean and typeset by Patrick Atherton, with photographic contributions by Gary Mortensen and Robert Fogt. It documents key works from the Spencer Collection, including 18th- and 19th-century images of Buddhist figures, demons, legendary characters, humorous genre scenes, and classic motifs such as Daikoku shaving Fukurokuju and symbolic pagoda forms - hallmarks of the Otsu-e tradition. Because the Spencer Collection represents one of the most significant assemblages of Otsu-e in the West, this publication remains a sought-after reference for those studying Japanese folk art, Edo-period visual culture, and the intersection of vernacular creativity with religious, social, and humorous narrative imagery. Matthew Welch is a curator and scholar specializing in Asian art, long affiliated with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. His publications focus on Japanese painting, decorative arts, and visual culture, emphasizing accessible scholarship supported by close object analysis. Welch's work has helped introduce Otsu-e and other vernacular traditions to a wider international audience. Photography by Gary Mortensen and Robert Fogt (illustrator).

"This stunning two-volume book is the long-awaited catalogue of the exquisite collection of Ch'ing (Qing) dynasty imperial textiles and costumes from… the collection of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. This collection has a rich history. Approximately half of it belonged to the San Francisco attorney William E. Colby, who had amassed the collection throughout the opportunistic decades of the 1920's and 1930's, and was acquired by The Minneapolis Institute of Arts under the advice of Alfred Pillsbury. Now consisting of over 600 items, it is considered one of the finest and most comprehensive holdings of Ch'ing textiles outside of China."--Publisher's description. VG.
