神坂 雪佳

５年くらい前の或る日、取引先の出版社で突然に版画集を見せてもらいました。

”百々世草”（１９０９〜１９１０刊、６０点）というタイトルの３冊からなる版画集でした。

初めて見る木版画だったけど、ハイレベルな版画集だったので作者を聞きました。

でも、知らない名前（神坂　雪佳）だったので、不思議な気分でした。

後で調べたら、作者が生存中は有名だったけど、日本では〜時間の経過で忘れ去られたようです。

I had the collection of prints suddenly shown by a customer's publishing company one day

[ last ] for about five years.

It was a collection of prints which consists of three volumes of the title "Momoyo gusa"

Although it was a wood-block print begun and seen, since it was a high-level collection of

prints, the author was heard.

But since it was a name (Sekka　Kamisaka) which is not known, it was a wonderful feeling.

It seems that I was away forgotten in progress of time in Japan although it was famous while

the author survived when investigating later.
