There was mention of these in an article about San Fransisco...the more I found, the more enchanting these tables are. With all the family gone, I can only guess at how they got into our family. There was a hand Block-printed set of Japanese `Sword and Blossom Poems`in 3 bound volumes with a library label from a family friend and I later then discovered she was a missionary to China in the 30`s and that is how the books ended up in our home. So too do I suspect the tables did. Alas, all that family too are dead.
