Subject:Set of early chinese pamphlets
Posted By: sun Tue, May 19, 2015 IP: 68.108.250.120
Anyone know what these are? Age? What they mean or who made them.

They appear to be fairly old

Thanks!

Your books are Japanese ehon (book). The colored one dates from the second half of the 1800s. If you show us the title page, we may be able to tell you more.

Cheers,
Stan

there are 7 books total, 6 with the the red/orange covers and 1 with the blue cover.

Ill attach below a pic of the first 2 pages I see when i open the book as well as the last 2 pages at the end of the book. Maybe that will show some more information on who the author is and the title of the book.

Thanks so much!

The last picture looks to be signed by Utagawa Kunisato who died in 1858.

I think the next to last one is signed Kunimasa. I don't know which Kunimasa however. There were at least 5 of them.

The one before that is signed by Kunisato.

These identifications are tentative given that I don't speak Japanese.

Cheers,
Stan
