Turk-Nippon dostlugunun sonrasiz hatirasi : Ertugrul / Memorial book commemorating 50 years of relations between Turkey and Japan, dedicated to the Ertugrul tragedy

Descripción

The book was published to commemorate one of the cruelest shipwrecks in the history of the world before the Titanic. The sailing frigate Ertugrul was sent to Japan laden with gifts, a diplomatic response to the visit of two Japanese princes to Istanbul. Emperor Meiji himself received Admiral Ali Osman Pasha in Yokohama. Their meeting symbolized the establishment of a cordial friendship between the Ottoman and Japanese empires. The shipwreck occurred on the way home on October 19, 1890, during a typhoon near the shores of Wakayama Prefecture. More than five hundred people died, including the Admiral. This book was edited and published by the Turkish Embassy in Tokyo 47 years after the disaster (in 1937), for the opening ceremony of a Memorial Tower in Kushimoto, where there is a cemetery and museum of the tragedy. Text in Turkish and Japanese.  46, 59 pages, 33 unnumbered leaves of plates. Numerous photographic illustrations included. Original paper wrapper. 22 x 15,1 cm. Three supplemental plates: Japanese map, detailed map of the shipwreck, plan of the memorial. Minor rubbing on the spine of the cover. Remains of the metal clip on the first few pages. Occasional stains on the contents. Overall the binding is still tied. Near fine to fine condition. . N° de ref. del artículo 1051
