CONDER
(Josiah, 1852-1920, Architect, Best known for his many buildings in Japan)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs North
sending her "samples of the dyed fibre paper which were supplied to me a few years ago. The undyed stuff can be got through any paperhanger but the dyed is, I believe, only made at a place called Kakegawa in Enshin. It is not cheap. 1 roll about 3 ft. wide and 24 feet long used to cost 3 yen and probably it is dearer now. If I were ordering I should do so through an ordinary 'kyoji ya' (paperhanger) giving him a sample of the colour and telling him to get it, and then trusting to Providence that I got it right and within two of three months! Nothing of the kind is stocked in Japan, and samples simply mean that they can make if you wait! I have never dealt with the makers direct and have only ordered through my paperhanger. I could send him to you if you wish ...", 2 sides 8vo., 25 Mikawadai Machi, Azabu, tokio, 11th May 1908
