I was looking forward since long time to get this set of books listing
the entire collection of the Keisei Isogaya Museum.

This private museum located in Japan has more than 1500 pieces of Kutani mainly from the Meiji era and I believe to be the most
extensive kutani collection in the world.

Which is also extremely rare, each piece has been taken front, back and also marking.

It is the most valuable reference material for the kutani collector
which has ever been assembled.

Each piece is identified in japanese and romaji, description and translation of the marking. Unfortunately the english translation is not available but is it not so problematic.

At end of each book a summary table give in japanese for each piece the name of the painter and kiln or producer when available,
description and also dimension.

There is no text on these books except one page of introduction in
japanese and english.

These books were published in 1990 & 1991 by the Keisei Isogaya museum for private use.

They can still be purchased from the museum at a price of 25.000 Yens each.

If someone is interested, I am regularly in touch with the museum, I can therefore manage to help get a copy.

around 250 $ each depending on exchange rate.
