Nishikigoi Meikan – 100 Famous Koi (錦鯉銘鑑・銘鯉100撰)

Large-format gold cloth hardcover housed in the original red fold-over presentation case with gilt Japanese title. The case is worn and damaged with a small section of the red leather-like covering missing, overall rubbing, and fading to the gilt lettering. The book itself is bound in a distinctive plastic-covered glitter gilt finish with red Japanese lettering on the cover and spine, showing only minimal wear. The text block edges remain clean. Internally, the pages are generally clean with some foxing noted. Overall, a solid and presentable copy of this limited Japanese koi reference work.
