Condizione: Near fine. Accordion-style series of illustrations from photographs, measuring about 18.75" x 3" when opened. Neatly hinged into die-cut covers in the shape of an oyster, with a closing flap, astoundingly intact, but slightly worn. Covers with only the faintest forgivable creasing. Very near fine overall. A marvelous… little advertising document for this Japanese Imperial-era pioneer in the cultivation and processing of cultured pearls. The illustrations, each with a caption, depict various parts of the farming and manufacturing process. The covers are naturally the star of the show, printed in several colors to very realistic effect, in the shape of an oyster. Kokichi Mikimoto, owner of the company, is credited as having created the very first cultured pearl in 1893. He did so in an effort to find "the perfect pearl," having judged so many natural pearls to have various flaws and defects. His efforts to perfect the pearl did not bear fruit until around 1920, when he was able to produce enough to support an export business, and this catalogue probably dates from within a decade or so of this period. A small handful of similar items related to the firm are listed in OCLC, though none of these is described as a die-cut advertising document.
