    Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Edition. Color pictorial cover featured Mt. Fuji on front and a couple in a jeep on the back. Colors are bright with little to no sun fading. Illustrated endpapers and 24 color illustrations with alternating haiku-like blurbs on the opposite page, highlighting the clash of cultures during the post war period of the occupation of Japan. Only real flaws: inscription to prior owner and date on title page in ink and the slightest bit of looseness to the binding. 2nd / 1st.
