Slightly off topic for this blog, this is a collection of seventeen cards (about the same size as playing-cards) with kinbaku-illustrations by Muku Youji.

In his book ”The Beauty of Kinbaku” (p. 64), Master K writes about Muku Youji as a ”connoisseur of sophisticated Kinbaku” whose images are ”meticulously drawn down to the last detail”, often first making photos then the actual drawing (here is an example of this: http://www.d-b.ne.jp/yohji/muku/307.jpg ).

UPDATE February 2015: I found out that the whole series consists of 40 cards. I have now managed to get hold of them all and add to the collection.
