Samurai, strongmen, demons, and detectives abound in this original selection of 64 woodblock-printed book covers and frontispiece illustrations from 1898 to 1903. Assembled by an expert in Asian art, who contributes captions and a substantial introduction, they offer rare glimpses of a newly rediscovered art form: the Japanese equivalent of dime-store novels.
