Descripción del artículo del vendedor

First edition, in the fragile dust jacket. This handbook, updated with the latest technological, infrastructural, and transport developments of the inter-war period, introduces Japan, Taiwan, Sakhalin, and the South Seas Mandate. It is augmented with a detailed section on Japanese culture, history, and language, as well as vivid colour photographic plates of famous locations like Mt Fuji. An Official Guide to Japan was loosely based on Volumes II and III of the 1914 Official Guide to Eastern Asia, but was almost completely rewritten. It guides the reader through 50 routes across Japan and its overseas territories, starting in Yokohama and Tokyo before moving down the Tokaido to the west. It also covers the journey north to Hokkaido and far south-west to Kumamoto. Okinawa is a notable omission, even though it had been incorporated into Japan since 1879. Loosely inserted in this copy is a typescript description of Japan, signed by Dr P. Wirz. This may be Paul Wirz (1892-1955), a Swiss anthropologist and ethnologist who travelled to Taiwan and then Hokkaido in 1936 and 1937. Small octavo. Frontispiece folding map outlined in blue and red, 5 colour photographic plates, 14 monochrome maps (2 folding), 35 colour maps (32 folding), diagrams, maps, and tables in text; colophon in Japanese. Original red cloth, spine and front board lettered in gilt, boards blind-stamped with two triple-fillet borders running continuously across spine, colour pictorial endpapers after ukiyo-e prints, marbled edges, red and blue bookmarkers, purple price stamp of Maruzen booksellers on colophon. With dust jacket. Contemporary pencil underlining on vocabulary list and occasionally in margins. Binding fresh, small nick at foot of rear joint, light yellow tidemarks on lower margins of contents, including on some maps and plates; jacket with price to spine, creased and lightly stained, nicked at extremities and sometime repaired on verso with tape: a very good copy in good jacket.…
