Original edition, the rarest and most sought-after, printed on rice paper, in Kobe, Japan, where Wenceslau de Morais (1854-1929), charismatic figure of Luso Orientalism, was consul. It includes numerous xylographic illustrations in the text, colour printed. Slightly handled copy, with slight stains on the back of the booklet cover and partial loss of the silk cord from the original seam. It preserves, however, intact the outer fold of all the bifolios (the Oriental manner structure).
