54 pages, Japanese A4 size (28 x 19 cm)
Description: This is a colouring book that uses 13 of the images from David's well-known Hyakunin Isshu hanga series. Each image is presented on a full page twice: once in a colour reproduction of his print, and once in black outline only, so the purchaser can create their own coloured image.
The colouring pages are printed on heavy stock, and are perforated for easy removal from the book for colouring. Either colour pencils, or standard watercolours would be suitable to use.
There are two introductory essays, one by David, and one by commentator Hirono Aoshima, who also supplies explanatory material for each of the 13 poems (all in Japanese). For foreign readers, an English translation of each poem is provided.
A special extra section includes four of the designs from David's Hanga Treasure Chest series, printed in outline form for colouring, and designed to be then trimmed and used as postcards.
