The whole is beautifully wrapped, in the Japanese manner in a paper protective sheet with the titles to the top cover.

Keisuke Serizawa (?? ??, 18951984) was a major Japanese textile designer and one of the key figures of the mingei (folk art) movement. In 1956 he was designated a "Living National Treasure" (ningen kokuho) by the Japanese government for his distinctive stencil dyeing technique.
