Koshuten (A World Within a Vase) - Yamamura Goryu (School of Ikebana)

The complete three-volume set of "Kochuten" is rarely available and commands high prices in the used market. I'm offering my spare copy of "Kochuten," which I kept for backup, at a lower price than the market rate, hoping it will be helpful to those struggling with their flower arranging practice.

As shown in the photos, there are two instances of writing: (a) the practice steps (photo 8) and (b) the previous owner's name (last photo). However, (a) is very helpful, and (b) didn't bother me.

[The Legendary Flower Arrangement Manual]
Its content remains relevant and is extremely helpful.

This "Kochuten" by Ikoma Hyosen of the Yamamura Goryu school of flower arrangement has three volumes: Heaven, Earth, and Man. The content of these three volumes are interconnected and closely related, so you can understand the content more deeply only when you have all three volumes.

As shown in the photos, the condition of the text is not bad compared to the exterior, and I think it is readable enough.

For me, it's a wonderful book, so much so that it's not an exaggeration to call it a "secret manual." Thanks to this book, I was able to become independent and arrange flowers with confidence.
* Due to the high price of this item, please only purchase if you can complete the evaluation on the day of receipt.
* I do not sell individual volumes, as this is for those who truly need it.
* The price is already set as low as possible, so I cannot offer a discount.
* This book was published approximately 50 years ago, so as expected, there is age-related deterioration on the exterior, such as the cover, as shown in the photos. On the other hand, the pages of the text are in relatively good condition for a 50-year-old book, as shown in the photos.
