BANQUETS FOR THE KOREAN DELEGATION TO JAPAN
Manuscript on paper entitled on paper label on upper cover "Chosen jin tochaku on kondate" "Banquet Menus for Korean Delegations"
36 folding leaves of which four are blank. 8vo 240 x 170 mm. orig. blue semi-stiff wrappers wrappers somewhat worn orig. label heightened in gold with manuscript title new stitching. Japan: n.d.<br /> During the Edo period there were 12 Korean delegations to Japan whose purposes were mostly to congratulate a new Tokugawa shogun. The missions which normally included 300-500 Koreans accompanied by roughly 1500 Japanese escorts symbolized the amicable relationship between the two nations and in the early years served to legitimize the Tokugawa shogunate.<br /> These delegations which usually took nine or ten months round-trip were enormously expensive undertakings for both countries. The Koreans brought many luxurious presents both public and private gifts and the Japanese in turn furnished equally lavish gifts including large quantities of silver. Also the receiving Japanese were obligated to fund a number of elaborate and costly banquets during the delegation's travels on the mainland and in the capital city as well as provide accommodations throughout.<br /> Our manuscript is concerned with one of the three final missions which took place in 1748 1764 and 1811 this last mission was held on the island of Tsushima located roughly halfway between Kyushu and the Korean mainland. All three of these missions experienced considerable cost-cutting. We suspect our manuscript is a record of the banquets for the final 1811 mission as there is a reference to a Russian translator at this time there was considerable tension between Japan and Russia because of the Russian desire to open trade with the island nation.<br /> Our manuscript describes a series of banquets served during one of these three final missions. In spite of the newly instituted austerity it is clear that the participants ate very well. For each of the 13 banquets we are given the number of guests and their official positions the number of dishes per tray what foods were served etc. Some of the banquets were limited to just a dozen or so guests and others included more than 300 people. <br /> The cuisine is very much in the tradition of the ritualistic preparation and serving of the food on a series of trays known as honzen ryori "main tray cuisine" which was the dominant banqueting style for the elite from the Muromachi period through the Edo period. Various seafoods including luxury items like lobster smoked fish roe octopus and preserved fish are listed along with preparations of chickens eggs many kinds of vegetables burdock daikon radish ginger eggplant wild wasabi and many vegetables that are today quite obscure cooked in various ways pickles mushrooms fruits persimmons pears yuzu nuts rice and other grains and elaborate confections including sweets of Portuguese origin like pound cake or kasutera.<br /> Fine copy preserved in a chitsu. unknown books

JAPAN WORLD WAR II PROPAGANDA Manning FE. mapmaker. F. E.
Target Tokyo. Newsmap for the Armed Forces. Monday October 18 1943. 214th Week of the War - 96th Week of U.S. Participation.
Washington D.C.: Army Air Forces. 10-18- 1943. Color poster / map 47 x 35 1/2 inches 120 x 90 cm folding as issued now professionally mounted on linen backing. Wear and a little paper loss along the fold lines has been infilled light toning to lower centrefold; the poster presents very well with bright color. Stunning image of a hemispherical view with Japan at the centre encompassing the area from Iran in the west Australia in the south and as far as the west coast of the U.S. at the east of the map. The map maker is F.E. Manning one of the distinguished news illustrators of the war in a style very similar to that of Richard Edes Harrison. There is a scale along the lower edge which was intended to be clipped and used to measure distances of places on the map from Tokyo. Text reads: "This map is a photographic view of the world with the center at Tokyo. Thus with the detachable scale distances can be measured along any line running thru Tokyo. It should be noted that an inch at the center represents less mileage than an inch closer to the edges. The detachable scale has been designed to compensate for this and should be used only with the center at Tokyo. The photographic process used in making this map makes all distances measured with the tape approximate only. Distances are shown in statute miles. Lines between key cities do not represent regular air routes in all cases. They show distances between points that do not fall on a line going thru the center of the projection." The Newsmap posters were displayed in offices and factories to keep the American public updated with news of the war and to encourage their participation in the winning of it. .

CANDY JAPAN
COLLECTION OF 560 CANDY WRAPPERS AND LABELS AND 55 BOXES
CANDY - JAPAN A COLLECTION OF 560 CANDY WRAPPERS AND LABELS AND 55 DECORATED BOXES EARLY 20TH CENTURY. The wrappers and labels range from small 2.5 x 3 cm to large 32 x 45 cm although the majority are somewhere in the middle. Many are elegantly printed woodblocks employing traditional Japanese botanical motifs while others combine traditional and contemporary design elements with contemporary methods of printing. The boxes have been carefully compressed and along with the wrappers and labels are mounted onto 291 loose leaves of light brown paper 30 x 22.5 cm to one side only. Besides advertising the expected fruit flavored sweets such as orange lemon cherry grape and apple other tastes on offer are chestnut walnut honey lychee and even parsnip. Collected from small candy makers and larger firms located all over Japan. A few of the labels and wrappers show some foxing and/or discoloration but are mostly clean. Printed in clear and saturated colors with occasional flashes of metallic ink the wrappers labels and boxes in this collection still entice and charm. Two of the designs even have the original cellophane wrapper that accompanied each. A collection assembled almost certainly before the war with some wrappers going back to the early 20th century. Mostly from the teens twenties and the thirties. Very unusual and interesting ephemera. unknown books

Jazz in Japan Davis Miles. 1926 1991 & Gordon Dexter. 19231990 & Simone Nina. 1933 2003 & Evans Bill. 19291980 & Vaughan
Collection of Signed Japanese Pressing LPs including KIND OF BLUE
Used; Like New/Used; Like New. An extraordinary collection of five Japanese pressed LPs each signed by the primary artist while on tour in Japan 1973-78 and including an especially rare signed copy of Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." <br style="">The support for jazz in Japan has long been immense and also remarkably consistent. Even during a slump in the United States in the 70's that threatened to put many American jazz labels and musicians out of business American jazz artists flocked to Japan to perform with many releasing "Live in Japan" albums including Miles Davis Bill Evans and Sarah Vaughan. ''Japan almost singlehandedly kept the jazz record business going during the late 1970's'' said a producer with Blue Note Records Michael Cuscuna. ''Without the Japanese market a lot of independent jazz labels probably would have folded or at least stopped releasing new material.'' NY Times "In Japan Jazz Resurges As a National Passion" 1/7/88  <br>Each album includes the original obi strip spine card the piece of paper wrapped around the spine of Japanese LPs the term obi designating the sash around a kimono Kimono no obi. Japanese pressings generally feature very high quality vinyl and the present examples are all in fine condition rated individually below. Four of them are dated by the obtainer of the signature or by the artist Simone. <br style="">BILL EVANS - NEW CONVERSATIONS.  Label: WARNER P-10516<br style="">Cover : EW/ Record : E<br style="">Obi stripe: E<br style="">Obtained 13 September 1978 signed dated and inscribed in black ink on the front cover. <br style=""><br style="">SARAH VAUGHAN WITH CLIFFORD BROWN<br style="">Label: MERCURY BT-1324<br style="">Cover : EW/ Record : EDJ<br style="">Obi stripe: E<br style="">Obtained 26 April 1975 signed in black ink on the front cover.  <br style="">NINA SIMONE - SPELL ON YOU<br style="">Label: PHILIPS SFX-7167<br style="">Cover : EW/ Record : E-W<br style="">Obi stripe: E<br style="">Obtained 1973 signed and dated in black ink on the record label and to an interior page of the album booklet<br style=""><br style="">DEXTER GORDON - APARTMENT<br style="">Label: STEEPLECHASE RJ-7101<br style="">Cover : EW/ Record : E<br style="">Obi stripe: E<br style="">Obtained 25 September 1975 signed in black ink on the front cover by Dexter Gordon Kenny Drew Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and Albert "Tootsie" Heath<br style=""><br style="">MILES DAVIS - KIND OF BLUE<br style="">Label: CBS/SONY SOPL-155Cover : EW/ Record : EObi stripe: EObtained 1975 signed in silver ink "Miles Davis" on the front cover. <br style=""><br style=""><br style="">The present collection includes several remarkable rarities but the highlight is surely the exceedingly rare signed copy of what is widely regarded to be the greatest jazz album of all time Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." Davis was notoriously prickly and a generally reluctant autograph signer. Though authentic autograph signatures are certainly obtainable we are aware of only one other extant authentically signed copy also sold by Schubertiade of Davis's greatest masterpiece. Of the previous example sold by Schubertiade noted jazz collector and dealer Larry Rafferty noted that in his 40 years of collecting jazz autographs this is "absolutely the only copy I have ever seen -- or heard of" and our research further confirms that no signed copies have appeared at auction or in trade catalogues.  <br style="">The best-selling jazz record of all time is universally acknowledged as a masterpiece revered as much by rock and classical music fans as by jazz lovers. Kind of Blue brought together seven now-legendary musicians in the prime of their careers: tenor saxophonist John Coltrane alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly bassist Paul Chambers drummer Jimmy Cobb and of course trumpeter Miles Davis. To the musicians who recorded it Kind of Blue was just another session when it was released in August 1959. But the disc was quickly recognized by the jazz community as a classic. Jazz musicians were startled by the truly different sound on an album that laid out a clear roadmap for further modal explorations. "So What" became the tune the one that every musician -- not just the practitioners of jazz -- simply had to know. The other tracks also quickly became standards and the individual solos throughout the record continue to inspire musicians to this day. Drummer Jimmy Cobb puts it all down to simplicity -- the reason Kind of Blue has remained so successful for so long. And because of its inherent balance historian Dan Morgenstern adds the album never wears out its welcome.<br style=""> unknown books
