They prayed for fertility and prosperity by erecting such images representing Buddhist Shinto and folkloric deities. Among them the most prevalent is Dosojin a pair of male and female folkloric gods. They were considered to be patron gods for children and young couples and gods who brought the peace of the village and abundance of crops.Besides these independent images there are stone carvings known as koshin tower. .the relief of Blue-headed Kongo a Buddhist deity as the main image and that of the sun and moon above."; all items loosely contained in a blue paper-covered hardcover folding portfolio with paper title label printed in two colors; the overall size is approx. 15" x 19 3/4"; the art of varying sizes some taking the entire sheet some smaller; the portfolio contained in the original protective cardboard slipcase also with paper title label; some edgewear age-darkening and closed tears to cardstock slipcase; blue portfolio with light wear a few cover scratches; text portion with a little edge-creasing; one of the rubbing plates with a ¾" paper flaw or rub in the background paper; two of the green paper surrounding 'window' mounts with sunning to gold on the inner ½" of the border; the artwork in very good condition; an interesting Japanese folk-art collection iconic imagery.

Japan 19th Century Guide Book
Illlustrated Guide Book for Travellers Around Japan. By B. Wyeda and T. Aoki
Osaka Japan: Aoki Szandow 1889. C. 120 pages; most of which have an illustration and sometimes two. Text in Japanese; titles given in English. Colin Franklin in 'Exploring Japanese Books and Scrolls' calls these publications an "appealing series of guides As travel within Japan had been restricted for three centuries and travel abroad forbidden these represented the new freedom. They combine charm with taste and a fine vagueness about that obsession of modern publishers "the market." As book-production they jump into more popular format with color-printed pictures over boards to bind themwith English captions erratic and fearless the many hundred illustrations which adorn the Japanese text.were they for the tour-guide to show his visitor - or in the world for Japanese travelers to show their guides Neither of these perhaps just a venture over the border into Western habit. They are excellent little books to leaf throughTechnically too they joined West with East. A new method was used for illustration: relief metal-cut like white-line wood engraving - Bewick's technique - difficult and delicate to manage practical in Japan for just a few years in the last quarter of the century. Paper suitable for such fine-line reproduction smooth machine-made was folded at the fore-edges in the traditional Japanese way. End-leaves and all edges were marbled an innovation for which as has been mentioned these books are now admired by collectors in JapanThey providetempting glimpses of all manner of scene and aspect of life on the eve of change" This is one volume of the 7-volume series. Approx. 4" x 6" size; bound in illustrated paper covered boards; cloth spine marbled endpapers all edges marbled. Some edge tips wear to the binding; contents in very good condition. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. Aoki Szandow hardcover books

Photography: Missionaries: Japan
Photo Album of a Lutheran Missionary in Japan
ca. 1920-1931 Kyushu Japan. Very good . Oblong 4to. String-tied commecial album; black boards. Contains 57 gelatin-silver prints of various sizes including 8" by 10" 7.5" by 5" and smaller most of which are adhesive-mounted with several loose plus 11 postcards depicting Kyushu Lutheran churches and one bookmark. One photograph apparently perished; several others loosening from pages. Else apparently complete.Album edges moderately worn; one photo missing a chunk at edge. Most are lightly toned but overall clean. Very good or better. <br/><br/>Well-assembled photo album compiled by an American Lutheran missionary to Japan whose face appears consistently in the majority of the photographs. The island of Kyushu is home to several Lutheran schools and churches including the Kyushu Gakuin Kyushu Lutheran College and the Janice James School both of which are pictured here having recently been built in the early 1900's. The Kyushu Lutheran mission was founded in 1893 by American missionaries; within several years they began building churches under the supervision of one Charles Lafayette Brown 1874-1921 and presumably the subjects pictured here with members of that particualr mission. The album features posed group photographs of large congregations — as large as roughly 150 — captioned with date and location in cities including Kurume Kamamoto and Saga; additionally included are many images of church services in progress plus several family portraits of church members. While Christianity began to spread when Japan phased out its isolationist policies in the 1850s Protestant evangilization in particular slowed under the military government of the Showa period the early years of which are covered by this album.These anti-Western trends were closely tied to the patriotic fervor that culminated in WWII. An absorbing visual archive of a prospering Protestant community and of American missionary activity in Imperial Japan. hardcover books

Sent by Mr. & Mrs A. Mikucki from Chicago to Private First Class Walter Mikucki at the Osaka Yodogawa Bunsho POW Camp in Japan
Returned mail sent to a World War II Marine who was captured on Corregidor and died in a Japanese prison camp
1945. Very good. Envelope only no letter. <br /><br />The envelope was addressed to Private First Class Walter Mikucki at the Osaka Yodogawa Bunsho POW Camp in Japan. It has a typed "Prisoner of War Postage Free" free frank in the upper right corner and has received a Chicago "War Savings machine postmark dated Jan 13 1944. The envelope was opened by a U.S. censor and resealed using censor tape annotated "Examined by 6587." The address was subsequently obliterated with a red cross and black bands using grease pencil or crayon. It has a circular handstamp in the lower right corner dated Nov 20 1945 with text that appears to read "LIBERATED HQ. USMC. WASH. D.C." There is a USMC "pointing finger" return-to-sender hand stamp that point to the return address. <br /><br />Pfc. Mikucki was a member of the 4th Marine Regiment when as war clouds rumbled in the Pacific it was sent from China to Corregidor to defend Manila Bay in the Philippines. Shortly after its arrival Japan launched its infamous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and allied bases throughout the Pacific. Corregidor was bombed continuously from late December 1941 until May 5 1942 when an overwhelming force of Japanese soldiers landed on the island. After tanks were brought ashore the following day Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright realized defeat was imminent and surrendered fearing the thousand or so wounded men and bedraggled defenders would be annihilated. <br /><br />Although most of the 4th Marine Regiment had been killed the remaining men were transported to prison camps in Japan. The Yodogawa Bunsho Camp near Osaka was one of the smallest Japanese prisoner of war camps and records in the National Archives identify only 12 prisoners that were known to have been held there. Pfc. Mikucki's name is not on that list. <br /><br />Other records show that Mikucki may also have been imprisoned at various times at the Itchioke Chikko and Umeda Bunsho camps. He died from unknown causes on March 11 1943. <br /><br />Clearly this information was not provided by the Japanese to the Red Cross as Mikucki's parents sent this letter ten months later. <br /><br />Examples of mail sent to American prisoners held in Japan are very scarce and this example may be unique for at the time of this listing I find no mention in philatelic or ephemera auction records in sale listings or institutional holdings of other returned mail for Corregidor Marines who died in Japanese prisoner of war camps . Also there is no mention of anything similar in Gruenzner's <i>Postal History of pf American POWs</i>. <br /><br /> books

Japan Honshu
PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM OF 116 PROFESSIONAL IMAGES MOSTLY FROM MIE-KEN CIRCA 1895-1925 DURING THE MEIJI AND TAISHO PERIODS
1925. Original photograph album. Very Good. Oblong string-tied album of black cardstock leaves 11" x 13" photographs mounted on 35pp blanks at the rear. Bound in black flexible boards with an embossed sailing ship and gilt lettering Photo-Album on the cover. Pasted in are 116 albumen and silver gelatin prints ranging from small candids to 8 ½" x 10 ½" group portraits a few fading overall sharp and clean. Laid into the album are a Japanese news article a small head-shot of an older gentleman and a watercolor portrait 10" x 8 ¼" of a man's face. Most of the photographs in this album. circa 1895-1925 were taken in Mie-Ken or "Mie prefecture" part of the Kansai region on the main island of Honshu. The group and individual portraits reflect new social and economic developments and cultural norms that emerged during this period. Subjects are shown in either traditional Japanese garments or in Western dress. Group shots often depict people wearing both styles within the same picture. There are many group shots of schoolchildren of both sexes young people in uniforms posed before buildings with Japanese signs on them as well as many formal group shots of families some "nuclear"-husband wife children- others extended by relatives. Individual shots of young children show them almost invariably in western dress one posed with his tricycle young boys in uniform a young girl in kimono showing a dance move while holding a fan infants in traditional robes and young men in business suits. Several birdseye views feature very large groups of rural people in traditional dress posed outdoors. Among the most striking photographs are: one 8 ½" x 10 ½" showing 11 doctors/ medical students posed around two corpses one smiling happily being dissected on two tables; four women and one man posed around a table doing handwork weaving tatting; men in western dress "strap-holding" inside a streetcar; and 5 actors 2 male 3 female on stage in costume. ~~ The Meiji period 1868-1912 saw the restoration of the Emperor this time with a centralized bureaucracy behind him after years of shogun rule. Japan was under heavy influence from Western political economic and educational models and the country became more capitalist industrial and progressively democratic offering free education to youngsters of both genders. Transportation and communications systems were modernized the feudal lords and samurai lost their power and a powerful national army and navy were created. By the early 1870s the government declared all classes of people to be equal. The Taishu period 1912-26 saw the continued influence of Western culture and values such as efficiency and individualism continued to replace more traditional ones. Japanese participation on the world stage continued to grow as the nation co-founded the League of Nations and emerged on the winning side in WWI. By 1925 there was universal male suffrage in Japan. Corruption in government increased however and the West began to form negative views of this newly-powerful non-white nation exacerbated by Japan's poor treatment of China. <br/><br/> hardcover books

JAPAN / JESUITS / COELHO Gaspar.
Lettera annale portata di Novo di Giapone Da I Signori Ambasciatori delle cose iui successe l'anno MDLXXXII
Venice: I Gioliti 1585. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 8vo. 103 pp. Bound in old vellum. Discrete former ownership stamp on title. Gutter margin of title reinforced; inconsequential toning otherwise excellent. Rare early edition of this Jesuit letter containing news of missions and activity in Japan from the year 1582 the only edition of 5 printed that year to contain a title-page advertising the famous Japanese embassy of 1584-86. Significantly the work also discusses the embassy the participants and their noble lineage and expresses the hope that the embassy will prove a convincing sign of the Jesuit's spectacular success in Japan p. 7. The present imprint of this edition comprises the first entry in Boscaro's bibliography of printed works related to the embassy. It thus stands at the head of nearly 50 works printed in 1585 alone to record and commemmorate an event that-in addition to providing a public relations coup for the Jesuits-became a watershed moment in cross-cultural exchange between the Orient and the West: "no Japanese emissaries to Europe either before or since aroused comparable interest or enthusiasm" Lach. In the annals of international relations between Europe and Japan in the 16th C it is particularly noteworthy "how the physical presence of the Japanese in Europe stimulated an unexpected number of typographical presentations" Boscaro of which this particular Gioliti edition with the titlepage advertising the embassy-Portata de Novo Dal Giapone Dai Signori Ambasciatori-is the very first. Boscaro notes that there were four other editions of Coehho's letter published in Italy in 1585 around the time the embassy arrived in Venice on June 25 including another by Gioliti but none of these uses the embassy as a way to market itself.The report itself is also a significant document of the embassy's genesis: Coelho composed it in February 1582 the month that the embassy of four Japanese Christian converts departed from Nagasaki. In it he describes the ongoing missionary activity across the country: e.g. in Hirado Amasuka Bungo and especially Funai Oita City the home of a thriving Jesuit college. Presumably the contents of this letter as the title suggests were "brought from Japan by the eminent ambassadors" as the latest news on the Jesuits current success in that faraway land.Though the embassy did not reach Lisbon until August 1584 it eventually was as Coelho had hoped a resounding success: from 1584-86 the four young Japanese nobles were the object of intense curiosity wherever they traveled and they were treated to lavish receptions in Lisbon Madrid Florence Rome Venice and other cities throughout Catholic Europe.OCLC: Cornell NYPL HU and Newberry. Boscaro 1; Alt-Japan 812; Sommervogel II.1267; Cordier 78; Laures 169; Pagès 22; Lach I.2.690. I Gioliti hardcover books
