This is a very popular book on Tole painting that I have used for many years. It is still usable, but there are small paint stains and yellowing of the patterns. Some patterns have been repaired with tape where they were torn. Please check the photos. If you are interested in using this book, please check the condition and feel free to purchase it. #TolePainting #TolePaintingBook #KaekoFuruya #JapaneseTolePainting
