Description
ix, 86 pages. Tissue-protected photographic frontis portrait of author and numerous other photographic plates. Author recounts his visit to Japan and, on the last page, presages difficulties to come for people of Japanese descent living in Canada. "So graphically have his word pictures portrayed the social, domestic and economic life of Japan that every person who reads them will, I am sure, have a much more enlightened understanding of the customs and mannerisms of the Japanese people." - S. Yedo, Japanese Consul in Vancouver, B.C. Light wear and soiling to yellow boards. Binding sound. A well-preserved copy of this fascinating work which is of much interest to latter day Japanophiles. Wallace p.89. Book
