This is an autobiography of Miyazaki Teruo, an artist of netsuke and lacquerware with Shibayama-style inlay and also known as the last Shibayama master. This book contains his memoir as well as a history and techniques of Shibayama-style inlaid lacquerware produced in Yokohama.
1650 yen including tax. Available through Japanese bookstores and Amazon.co.jp.
If you are interested in Shibayama-style inlay,
the abridged English translation (done by me
and Julia Hutt) in this book would be very good
to read!
If you are also interested in Japanese lacquerware,
I highly recommend The Book of Urushi that I
co-translated with Michael Brase (available at
Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, or Amazon.co.jp).

Japanese version and the English translation!
