		In the Japanese section we have chosen sixty-five representative productions extending in date from the reign of the Empress Suiko down to the close of the Tokugawa period; while, under the heading of China, we have included the equally typical specimens of the three dynasties of T'ang, Yuan, and Sung.
		Another characteristic of the present volume is the insertion of an unusually large number of coloured wood-engravings, 28 in all, a number rather exceptional in a work of this size.
		We desire to add that all these coloured prints are of that unequalled workmanship which is to be expected from the hands of artizans in the exclusive employment of the Kokka Company.
