JAPANESE WHALING ASSOCIATION、1954、A5、50p

M. Ibuse/H.Kaneko(Translation)、The Anglo-Japanese ･･･

Translated from the Japanese by H. Kaneko. First edition thus (paperback). Small 8vo. Original printed wrappers, in the original colour illustrated dust jacket. Uniform age-toning throughout the text, as commonly encountered, otherwise a very good copy. An intriguing survival from the Allied Occupation period. The front pastedown retains a contemporary Japanese business card together with several unused U.S. Air Mail 5¢ stamps, apparently left in the volume by a previous owner and naturally adhered over many decades. The card bears the name of Yoshinao Moriwaki, Site-Chief Director of the MIT Fuji Photo Artists Association, with an address at the Fuji View Hotel, providing an evocative and unusual contemporary provenance. A scarce post-war issue of Ibuse's celebrated account of John Manjiro, preserving the original English text first published before the Pacific War.
