Perzynski, Friedrich: Japanische Masken. Nō und Kyōgen. 2 Vol. Berlin und Leipzig: De Gruyter 1925. 27,3 x 21 cm. With 1 folded genealogical table and numerous illustrations on plates and in the text. XI pp., 1 unnumbered page, 426 pp.; 3 leaves, 235 pp. Original orange-colored cloth binding with a gold-stamped vignette on the cover and gold-stamped titles on the cover and spine; original illustrated dust jacket.
(The dust jacket of Vol. 1 has a small tear at the bottom edge of the front cover; both dust jackets are faded and have water stains on the spine. The linen bindings show water stains at the lower head; the covers and spine have slight foxing. The book edges show foxing. The interior pages mostly show foxing along the top and outer margins, though some pages are more heavily stained.)
A richly illustrated work on the art of Japanese masks that also traces the history of classical Japanese Nō theater, that centuries-old art form that combines elements of opera, oratorio, and ballet and is performed in magnificent costumes and masks. — This copy includes a dust jacket with a blurb.
