About this Item

First edition, 8vo, pp. 2, 4, 166, [2]; text in Japanese; 16 pages of plates; tan cloth boards; ex-library, with spine labels and stamps; boards lightly soiled, very good. The Japanese imperial government actively courted Islamic countries during its expansion into Asia, believing that they were allied in resistance to Western control of the region and that good relations with Sino-Muslims would undermine Chinese resistance to occupation. Wakabayashi Han was an active agent in that process. His book emphasizes the close relationship between Japan and Middle Eastern governments, and includes an account of Japanese making the Hajj. His book was popular, seeing at least three reprints within the first year, and at least two more thereafter.
