Jack Levine — a leading Social Realist — here turns eastward, casting his figures in the idiom of Japanese ukiyo-e, the \"pictures of the floating world.\" Michener, whose novels had made the encounter of East and West his life's subject, supplies the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four original lithographs, signed in the stone, and the hand-laid woodcut on Japanese vellum give the set its standing as an original graphic work, not merely an illustrated book. A complete, doubly-signed set — the artist and the author signing both in the colophon and inside the clamshell box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge folio, 510 × 340 mm. Part One: Michener's text with Levine's marginal illustration, four original colour lithographs and a woodcut on Japanese vellum, loose in a satin chemise; Part Two: the reproduction of Levine's sketchbook, 54 colour plates with tissue-guards, loose in a leather portfolio; together in a satin clamshell box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good; minor wear to the box.
