"The Imperial Japanese paper on which the text is printed comes from Tokyo. The collotype prints of Japanese flowers are made in Tokyo by K. Ogawa. the xylograph prints, illustrating the lecture on Japanese art by K. Okakura ... are printed in Tokyo by the Kokkwa Publishing Company. The photographs are all made and colored by hand in Japan ... The special works of art such as the water colors of animals and flowers have been painted and signed by native artists ... The silk bindings for the ten sections were woven to order in Kyoto by S. Iida."--Introd.
