Heijiro Taki – “Kirie Art Book: All-Color Collector’s Edition.”

A definitive, all-color edition compiling the life’s work of Heijiro Taki, Japan’s foremost master of paper-cut art (kirie).
Through his delicate layering of colored paper and masterful use of light and shadow, Takihira captured the spirit of rural Japan—its people, seasons, and quiet poetry.

This beautifully produced volume features his most celebrated works, including illustrations from Hanasaki Yama, Mochimochi no Ki, and Hachiro, as well as his iconic newspaper series Kirie.
Every page is reproduced in rich color, faithfully preserving the warmth and texture of the original art.

Elegantly bound and now long out of print, this edition is considered the definitive archive of Takihira’s legacy, highly prized by collectors of Japanese art and Showa-era illustration.

Please check the photos for details of condition.
A serene and deeply moving collection—an essential addition for collectors of Japanese folk and paper art.
