‎Japan Photography.‎

‎JAPAN 1909 - 1954 THREE PHOTO ALBUMS‎

‎Albums rubbed one flaking with joints beginning to split certainly Good or better. The images show occasional creasing silver mirroring & fading but are generally Very Good. Approximately 430 presumably amateur silver gelatin photographs 6.5†x 5†and smaller and a couple of real photo postcards housed in three commercial albums oblong or vertical quartos measuring about 11 inches by 8 inches. The compiler is unknown but quite possibly “Takamasa†first name or his descendants. His photograph is the first image in the album we have identified as album A. The photos are dated as early as 1909 and as late as 1954 with most from the mid twenties to late thirties. Many of the images include manuscript and occasionally rubber-stamped or printed annotations in Japanese on the versos. An eight page English translation accompanies the archive. <br/><br/>An impressive archive documenting life in Japan between the wars. Particularly interesting are several images depicting a banquet with Geisha and other events at a convention of the Japan Brewing Equipment Merchant’s Association in November 1926. Other images depict the building of the Sankyo Corporation on the day of the Great Kanto Earthquake scenes along the Tama River in Western Tokyo and various views of Temples Shrines Hot Springs etc. The accompanying translation is categorized by album A B & C with photos identified by numbers which correspond to added post-it slips. In addition to providing versions in English of the annotations the photos are described as to place etc. when known unknown books‎

‎BASEBALL JAPAN Shihon Gakkou hen‎

‎SHÔGAKU TOKUHON Maki no Ichi‎

‎1870. BASEBALL - JAPAN Shihon Gakkou-hen. SHÔGAKU TOKUHON Maki no Ichi. Aichi-ken Nagoya Shihongakkô Teacher's College n.d. 1870's An interesting little elementary school reader from the first series of textbooks designed and created by the Teachers College Normal School system in Japan after the Meiji restoration to introduce "Western Learning" to the country. What follows is a series of excerpts from an informative article found online at http://wwwwp.mext.go.jp/hakusyo/book/hpbz198103/hpbz198103_2 _035.html "The Normal School which was under the direct jurisdiction of the Department of Education was also requested to compile elementary school textbooks on the basis of its practical experience. Also an office for editing elementary school textbooks was set up in the Normal School in December 1872. The Department of Education encouraged independent prefectures to reprint the textbooks and other educational material which it and the Normal School had compiled and it was not long before most of the prefectures adopted this practice and the reprinted textbooks were in nationwide use. Especially following the establishment of regulations for the course of study for elementary schools by the Normal School the textbooks prepared by this institute gained wide acceptance. These textbooks included elementary school readers introductory geography outlines of Japanese topography outlines of world topography outlines of Japanese history outlines of world history elementary school arithmetic etc. .The elementary school textbooks proved to be an interesting introduction of the new knowledge based on the Civilization and Enlightenment Bunmeikaika thought and they were accepted not only as textbooks but also as popular reading material for the public at large. Thus their influence was of considerable importance in the dissemination of the new culture." It is pretty clear that the introduction of Western culture also entailed the introduction of a least a variety of baseball in the 1870's as well a fact confirmed by other sources on the origins of baseball in Japan. The American educational consultants and their Japanese colleagues in Aichi saw fit to include a cut and a story with a group of boys playing with bats and balls pitching and hitting - interesting proof that baseball is nearly as old in Japan as it is in the States. The text of the story crude. unknown books‎

‎ZOTEI DAI NIHON KOKUGUN YOCHI ROTEI ZENZU‎

‎1852. MAP - JAPAN SEKISUI Chô & SUZUKI Kien. ZOTEI DAI NIHON KOKUGUN YOCHI ROTEI ZENZU. Edo Osaka & Kyoto. Zodiacal date of Kaei 5 1852. Identical to the copy illustrated online from the UC Berkeley collection save that their copy is a standard one-piece folding map in covers. See: http://www.lunacommons.org/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~9~1~24 291~110045:Zotei-Dai-Nihon-kokugun-yochi-rotei Ours is the same size when assembled some 102 x 183 cm but is bound in 12 separate folding sections each identified on the cover by area each approximately 35 x 46 cm. This would seem to have been done by the publisher for ease of use a series of "pocket maps". They are all enclosed in a small clasped chitsu case some 12 x 8 x 3 cm in size with a mica-paper liner and a cloth exterior. There is a smaller size version some 72 x 40 at 1852.1 in the first volume of Beans referenced from Ramming 1934 at #28 - obviously a misprint of some kind as it would be hard to understand a smaller size recut map existing. In any case a very interesting format and a lovely detailed map in a "modern" style employing degrees of latitude but printed in traditional color woodblock. Very good condition impression and colors. An excellent example of Japanese cartography in transition. unknown books‎

‎CHILDREN'S JAPAN TAKEI Takeo editor‎

‎Yôji Hyôjun Ehon OHISAMA TO OTSUKISAMA‎

‎1940. CHILDREN'S - JAPAN TAKEI Takeo editor. Yôji Hyôjun Ehon OHISAMA TO OTSUKISAMA. Tokyo Showa 15 1940. Stiff wrappers about 10" x 7" illustrated in color throughout. The covers and the twelve double-page spreads within are printed after work by several important artists and illustrators including Takei himself. This is volume 7 of the "Standard Picture Books for Children" series its title could be translated as MADAM SUN AND MISTRESS MOON. It has a series of fifteen charming depictions of the influence and necessity of the sun and moon on our daily lives. No sign of the Imperial sun worship of the time save an explicit pictorial juxtaposition of the ancient Egyptians and modern Japanese worshipping the sun. The moon comes in to the picture at the very end as a guide for children on dark streets at night. The text is by Takei. The covers are a bit rubbed and slightly stained and soiled but overall a good copy of this extremely ephemeral publication. unknown books‎
