A wonderful and rare 3 volume set published by Kyoto City Council in 1903 (Meiji 36). Not available for sale anywhere else on the western market.
All woodblock prints scanned in photos, as well as the maps. Yellowish due to age and also diffuse foxing but no worm holes or tears in the content/prints. It is very easy to remove the prints and frame them if you want, the volumes were made with this in mind, the prints are not directly binded into the spine. Enjoy this beautiful set.
