‎RAKUHO. HANDMADE PAPER OF JAPAN.‎

‎Japan ca. 1960 n.p. Boards covered in Rakuho paper large 28 x 33 cm. tied spine silver printed title in both Japanese Kanji & Romaji number "2" in Japanese on the front cover contains paper samples #101-140 with 40 sample papers This large size book contains 40 individual handmade Rakuho paper samples each numbered with name size in a host of colors. . What sets this paper apart from other Japanese Washi handmade paper books is the unique method of combining different colors into one single paper sheet for a very Shibui elegant and refined look. . Some examples are have as many as 5 colors combined into one sheet. These papers were used inside Japanese houses as Fusuma sliding closet or other doors or as a decorative touch to walls. . Also found in furniture in the tea room or in the Tokunoma art display alcove. Natural pastel colors are used in a very tasteful way. Some examples are highly artistic with large deckle edges some are irregular where they combine with other sheets. . The last sample has a corner missing as part of the over-all design planning to give a "ragged-artistic" touch. . Words are highly inadequate to try to describe such fine examples of Japanese art sense. Please see the photos posted to our website for more details. . . hardcover‎

‎JAPAN ECONOMIC FEDERATION. NIPPON KEIZAI RENMEI KAI‎

‎THE HEAVY INDUSTRY OF MANCHOUKUO: Present Conditions of the Exploitation of Natu‎

‎Tokyo 1940 J.E.F. Stiff wrs. very good ca. 12.5 x 18.5 cm 83p. large foldout color map 3 tables appendix English text statistics charts. S C A R C E Ahead of title:East Asia Economic Intelligence Series No. 3. Written eleven months before Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor this work outlines Japan's remarkable success in the last decade in Manchoukuo since 1932 and the exploitation of natural resources on a grand scale. Japan's pride in showing off its activities in Manchuria are abundantly evident in this "propaganda" book. Chapter headings: General informat- information & background volume of natural resources. Coal mining iron and steel manufacturing mining of non-ferrous metalslight metal manufacturing Manchuria & its industrial development Corp. and its sphere of activities. Chronolog- ical list of the attainments of the Manchuria Industrial Development Corp. With tables: List of Japanese companies within the Industrial Development Corp.; Movement of capital of mining & manufacturing; Mining manufacturing and other companies connected with the Manchuria Industrial Develop- ment Corp. in Manchuria & Japan. One can deduce from this rather boastful propaganda work and others like it of the 1930-1940's that Japan was exceptionally proud of its take- over of Manchuria and its industrial capacity to produce war material. One can also comprehend the timing of such a document in English distributed out of New York to put some fear in to the Americans concerning the threat of any war with Japan vis-a-vis her war-machine capacity . In fact one of Japan's stated reasons for actually attacking Pearl Harb- or was that "America cut off Japan's supply of junk iron & steel as well as petroleum products." The facts are that Japan found vast quantities of iron in Manchuria and a very abundant supply of oil in Indonesia ! So why did Japan really force war on America Beyond fascinating ! A factual and in-depth study of the highest caliber ! . unknown‎
