Hardcover w/ Jacket. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. This 5.75 x 8.75, 187 page book is in fine condition. The red cloth covers are near perfect with no real condition issues to mention. There is no really no visible sign of wear or damage. The black sun/bomb image on the front cover is intriguing and clear, and the lettering on the spine is also like new. The interior of the book showed a previous owner's bookplate pasted to the ffep but beyond that the text shows no condition issues to mention. The book features a number of striking woodblock illustrations revolving around the Japanese experience in WW II and the tragic and destructive end of the war for Japan in 1945. The dust jacket is in very good condition. It does have a one-inch tear at the spine crown and there is some modest wear to the top and the folds, but really the jacket is in very solid and good condition. 187 pages.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Summary:"This book includes forty-one chapters about foreign observers' discourses on Japan. These include a wide range of perspectives from the travelogues of curious visitors to academic theses by scholars, which offer us a broad spectrum of contents, reflecting a variety of attitudes toward Japan. The works were written during the period from the 1850s to the 1980s, a timespan during which Japan became, in stages, more open to the outside world after a long isolation under the Tokugawa shogunate. From the perspective of "Japanology," one can discern three distinct periods of rising interest in the country from abroad. The first tide of such interest came shortly after the opening of Japan, when various foreign travelers, including those who could not be included in this book, came over and wrote down their impressions of the country -- which was, for them, a land of mystery and mystique, which had just opened its doors to them. The second wave arose at the beginning of the twentieth century, just after the Russo-Japanese War, when Japan again generated a remarkable surge of interest as a "miracle" in Asia that had pulled off the wondrous feat of defeating a white superpower. The third wave was more recent, which took place from the late 1960s to the 1980s, a period of high economic growth when the "miracle" of Japan's remarkable economic recovery from the defeat of World War II attracted enthusiastic and curious attention from the outside world once again. It is not the intention of this book to directly highlight such historical transitions, but these forty-two brilliant mirrors (forty-one chapters, including forty-two discourses), even when looked in casually, provide us with unexpected insights and various perspectives"-- Publisher's description.
