Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Hagiwara Sakutaro (1888-1942) was a prominent Japanese poet with a strong inclination toward Western influences. His work 'Cat Town' was notably influenced by philosophers such as Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and Bergson. Initially published in 1935, the book achieved great success in Japan. However, it's worth noting that only the English translation of the book features illustrations by the talented sosaku-hanga artist Kawakami Sumio (1895-1972). The text is in English. 4to. 25 pp. 19,3x15cm. 5 woodcuts. Hard cardboard cover. Cloth spine. Fine clean copy.

First Edition
Small 4to. Size: 19.3 x 15 cm. Pp. 25. With five woodblock-printed illustrations. Original decorated paper-covered boards. First English edition of the prose poem "Nekomachi" by Hagiwara Sakutarô. He is sometimes considered the "Father of modern colloquial poetry" in Japan because of his new, unique style of free-verse that differs from the traditional rules. Sakutarô himself once described his poetry as expressions of his "soul's nostalgia" for those moments in life that inspired him to write. The work has been translated into English by George Saitô, also including an introduction by him. The binding and the b/w plates are illustrated by Sumio Kawakami, a great Japanese woodblock-print artist in the 20th century.
