[Tourist Sec, Nagasaki Prefectural Government]ABAA

Nagasaki Kyushu Japan Association Copy Inscribed to USS St. Louis Commander

1985rif. 21635Japan: Shukosha Printing Co 1985. First Edition First Printing. Near Fine/Fine. THIS ASSOCIATION COPY SERVES AS ASTRIKING CULTURAL ARTIFACT OF POST-WAR DIPLOMACY GIFTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE NAGASAKI JAPAN-AMERICAN SOCIETY to the COMMANDING OFFICER of the USS ST. LOUIS LKA-116. While primarily a lavishly illustrated topographical survey of Nagasaki's national parks and scenery the volume is notably silent on the events of August 1945. This deliberate editorial choice reflects a specific era of regional branding-focusing on the 'International City of Culture'-and serves as a primary document of high-level naval diplomacy during a 1987 port visit. ASSOCIATION COPY PROTOCOL Associate: Captain R. M. Butler USN Commanding Officer of the USS St. Louis. The Link: Inscribed to Butler by Mr. Kiyoshima President of the Nagasaki Japan-American Society during a port visit on January 4 1987. Interpretive Value: The USS St. Louis LKA-116 was an amphibious cargo ship critical to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. This gift represents the formal 'soft-power' hospitality extended to U.S. Naval leadership in a city with a unique and sensitive history regarding the American military. The absence of WWII mentions in the text when presented as a gift to a U.S. Navy Captain highlights a carefully curated 1980s diplomatic narrative. KEY FEATURES Provenance: Explicitly documents a 1987 Naval port visit with a high-level diplomatic inscription. Scarcity: Institutionally rare; OCLC locates only a single copy worldwide Germany. Visuals: 60 pages of color photography topography and regional maps of Kyushu. Imprint: Nagasaki Prefectural Government Edition; Shukosha Printing Co. 1985. Specs: Large square format; 10 by 10.5 inches. CONDITION Fine/Near Fine -- In collectible condition. Bound in light brown cloth with a vibrant wrap-around pictorial dust jacket protected in a fitted sleeve. Internally clean with 60 pages of bilingual Japanese/English text and color illustrations. Exhibits minimal shelf handling with light age-spotting restricted to the perimeters of the preliminaries. Inscribed on the front free endpaper. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- In the mid-1980s Nagasaki's prefectural government leaned heavily into its identity as a gateway of international trade and natural beauty. This book produced for the Tourist Section avoids the 'Atomic Martyrdom' narrative common in other local publications choosing instead to emphasize the region's national parks and historical ties to the West such as Glover Garden. The presentation of this specific 'neutral' history to the Captain of a U.S. Navy vessel is a profound example of 20th-century geopolitical etiquette. It underscores the transition of Nagasaki from a site of conflict to a strategic partner in the Japan-American alliance during the late Cold War. SUBJECTS: Nagasaki History US Navy History USS St. Louis Cold War Diplomacy Japan-American Relations Maritime History. BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: OCLC 934905329. Shukosha Printing Co unknown books
