--
When Keisuke Serizawa was in his forties, one of the works he started after moving to Tokyo was Picture Book "Don quixote" . This picture book was commissioned by the American Carl Keller, a collector of Don Quixote, with the English literary scholar Juugaku Bunsho acting as an intermediary, and began production in October 1935, and 10 was distributed in March 1937, 12. In Serizawa's picture books, Don Quixote is replaced by a samurai of the Kamakura period, and is produced with a lap printing while keeping in mind the Nandoku books of the Edo period. The gilded cover on lacquered washi paper is beautiful, and this book is still highly regarded to this day.
