P., Stock, Delamain et Boutelleau, 1930, in-8, broché., non rogné, 264 pp. Portrait en frontispice eau-forte et une planche hors-texte. Édition originale. Illustré de deux eaux-fortes de MIELI, bien que trois soient signalées par erreur, sur la page de titre. Mieli était le mari de Kikou Yamata. Un des 25 exemplaires numérotés sur Japon impérial, N° 8, deuxième papier après 5 ex sur Japon à la forme. Bel exemplaire. * Née à Lyon le 15 mars 1897, fille de Yamada Tadazumi, ancien élève de l'école de La Martinière de Lyon, diplomate japonais natif de Nagasaki et consul du Japon à Lyon. Après une enfance passée à Tokyo, elle fait, à 26 ans, son entrée dans les salons littéraires parisiens et devient vite « la » Japonaise pour la société parisienne de l'époque, d'autant plus qu'elle parle un français parfait : les habitués des salons de Mme Lucien Muhlfeld ou de la duchesse de la Rochefoucauld se passionnent pour les explications que Mademoiselle « Chrysanthème » ( , kiku?) donne sur le Japon, pays alors surtout connu en France au travers des romans de Pierre Loti. Elle rencontre les grandes figures du monde littéraire parisien, André Maurois, Anna de Noailles, Jacques Chardonne, Jean Cocteau, Léon-Paul Fargue et Paul Valéry. Yamata devient célèbre avec Masako, roman publié en 1925. Parallèlement à sa carrière littéraire, Kikou Yamata continue aussi à faire connaître l'art du bouquet japonais, l'ikebana, dont elle a été la pionnière en France. Kikou Yamata quitte Paris pour le Japon en 1939. Après la guerre, elle revient en France, et renoue avec la littérature. Les deux ouvrages qu'elle écrit en 1953, Trois Geishas et surtout la Dame de Beauté, finaliste malheureux du Prix Femina, connaissent un grand succès en France. Elle est faite Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur en 1957, et meurt à Genève en Suisse le 12 mars 1975. Elle laisse une œuvre où trois thèmes dominent : la description du Japon et de son histoire ; la femme japonaise, figure puissante, à l'opposé de la mousmé de Loti, et que Kikou Yamata dépeint au fil de l'évolution historique du Japon, de la période prébouddhique au xxe siècle ; la dualité de sa propre existence franco-japonaise, ni totalement occidentale, ni totalement orientale, et pourtant sommée par le cours de son histoire d'assumer l'une ou l'autre de ces identités.

iv, 87 pages. Reproductions of black and white photos. "I have written this booklet because I have found so many people know almost nothing about the evacuation of the Japanese Canadian people from the west coast during the war. At the coast, after Pearl Harbor, a Japanese family might be living next door to you and a few days later they were gone and no one knew where, particularly after they left the exhibition buildings in Vancouver. I feel sorry this story has to be told, in part, so that such a thing does not happen to any other group of people in this country. Tashme was established at the Fourteen Mile Ranch and the first families arrived in September, 1942. I have written mostly about the high school and its students but everyone in the community was effected by the events I have recorded." - from Preface. Author taught high school for two years in Tashme. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Two-inch rectangular patch of mild discoloration to upper right corner of front cover where label removed. A sound copy of this important history. OCLC Number 41799350. Book
