[USED] Selection of Japanese Painting Masterpieces, Dentsu 80th Anniversary, Not for Sale, 1981

This is "Japanese Painting Masterpieces" published to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Dentsu's founding (1981).

This art book can be seen on many other auction and flea market sites.

Personally, I think it is a very interesting art book, but I am surprised that people who do not know its value are offering it for an extremely low price.

According to the preface greeting, it includes bronze bell paintings from the Yayoi period, Shosoin "treasures," ancient Japanese masterpieces, and ukiyo-e from the end of the Edo period, and is an attempt to trace the progress of excellent Japanese culture through 100 representative masterpieces that have defined the culture of the era for over 2,000 years.

You can deepen your understanding not only by looking at the pictures, but also by reading the commentary by Sadao Kikuchi and others on the left page.
