Description

A large silk sampler catalogue from the 1939. The title says "Hataguruma silk print". Around 400 silk samples from before the war.
No other mention found in the catalogue about provenience. Probably one of the common at the time catalogues used internally for reference by the kimono manufacturers
Any damage can be seen in photos (occasional tears, a few missing samples). 110 pages. The silk samples are as new, not even time yellowish.
