This is a practical book that thoroughly explains everything from the basics to the applications of Japanese tailoring. It contains a wealth of practical information related to Japanese tailoring. Please note that four pages (pp. 23-26) are missing (I have accounted for all of them). Apart from that, there are minor scratches and yellowing, but the condition is not too bad. This is an old publication and has been stored for a long time. Please understand that there is some age-related deterioration. I will do my best to ship it carefully. Thank you. -------------------- Please be aware that this item is "used." I have checked it carefully, but there may be damage or missing contents that I have overlooked.
