Description: First edition, number 209 of 350 copies; 8vo 21.5 x 15 cm); old bookseller's label to front pastedown, woodcut device to title, limitation, character list, and colophon in red; original unprinted dustjacket, grey paper boards backed in bluff linen, title stamped in black to upper cover, top-edges uncut, minor toning to endpapers and covers; [9], xviii, [3], 48, [8]pp. A choice example in the scarce unprinted dustjacket of this collection of four Noh plays selected by Ezra Pound, based on translations in manuscript by the American professor of philosophy Ernest Fenollosa. Yeats contributed the introduction, in which he discusses his own 'little play' At the Hawk's Well which was performed for the first time the same year. The book was published and printed by the Yeat's sister, Elizabeth Corbet Yeats, who had established the Cuala Press in 1908 with support from her brother. Cuala was unique for being the only press managed and staffed by women, and the only commercial printer in Ireland to work exclusively with a hand press. Wade 269.
