This invaluable reference book, A Handbook of Modern Japan, by Ernest W. Clement, received rave reviews when it was published in 1903 by the Bay View Reading Club, Detroit, Michigan. This is the fourth edition of 1 July, 1904, reflecting its demand.
There are twenty one chapters that cover country people, banking, cotton mills, statesmen, paintings, religion and military life. Clement's introduction expresses his intention to show Japan as a modern world power for the general reader. It contains a colored fold-out map and over sixty b/w photographs.
This beautiful green hard cloth bound book is a must for the history buff or Japanofile. |
