Original beige limp boards punch-sewn at gutter margin title in manuscript on front cover some scuffing wear occasional internal worming mildly affecting some maps still a VG- exemplar. An extraordinary Meiji-era manuscript real estate plat map atlas for the Yamada Village and environs of the Keta District in present-day northern Hyogo Prefecture. Traditionally ruled over by descendants of the Miwabe-no-Atai clan this real estate atlas volume encompasses hundreds of plat maps tied to outline maps with the plats all numbered and many colour-coded with colour coding to the opening index. The creator of this map atlas appears to have been commissioned by local land agents following the economic expansion after the opening of the Hyogo Harbor in 1867 for foreign trade while quickly became one of the largest trading ports in Japan. The Tajima province is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Kobe Beef or Tajima Wagyu traditionally compact working cattle with a calm nature but which quickly came into high demand as Kobe Beef in the late 1880s as the large foreign trading and tourist community desired beef and the Tajima cattle were especially desired. This also contributed to a rising demand for land in which to raise the Tajima Wagyu cattle and land prices. At the same time the nearby coast also began slowly developing a small tourist trade and coastal resorts. The map sections include No. 5 -- Kitakami no machi; No. 11 -- Sampo no matsu; No. 12 - Shita takimiya; No. 13 - Okawahara; No. 14 - Takimiya; No. 30 - Kita shitaya as well as No. 36 - Kawahara. In April 1896 the Keta District was dissolved and merged into the Kinosaki District along with the Mikumi District and became the Hyogo Prefecture anchored by the city of Kobe. The additional supplemental pieces tipped-in others laid-in and the many add-ons to the folding map with many bearing annotations indicate that this was a meticulously maintained working document for Meiji land agents. We have been unable to locate any similar manuscript or printed real estate atlases for this era and geographical location.

Photograph album compiled by Paul Eugene Shearer US Navy while serving in Japan during the occupation.

1952187135Japan and United States: c.1952-57. For the Japanese African Americans were both powerful occupiers and fellow second class citizens A thought-provoking album that offers an insight into the Afro-Japanese cultural exchange during the Allied Occupation. Shearer was a Black US serviceman with Fleet Aircraft Service Squadron 120 stationed at Iwakuni 40 km southwest of Hiroshima. His album includes images of the Japanese countryside and people fellow personnel his Japanese wife Hisako and family back home in the States. Shearer 1935-1999 born in Madison Kentucky grew up in Cincinnati spending his later years in California he is buried in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. His ownership inscription gives his rank as ADJ2 or Aviation Machinist's Mate jet engine mechanic. From around 1954 his unit FASron-120 supported the US fleet's airborne capabilities. A few shots show him in uniform driving that workhorse of the US military the 2½ ton 6x6 truck adapted as a tanker. Some of the early shots show him with Hisako and a fellow serviceman with his Japanese girlfriend. One image pictures the latter clutching a jazz album: George Shearing's Latin Escapade 1957 reflecting the fact that "postwar Japan embraced the music of its former enemy" Van Nguyen. "The postwar period includes some of the richest chapters in the story of Afro-Japanese cultural exchange. The culmination of the Pacific War and the onset of the Allied Occupation of Japan made for heady times in the encounters between African Americans and Japanese people Postwar African Americans enlisted in droves in search of a better life on the other side of the Pacific and the Occupation saw both the genuine empathy and the messy disillusionment that comes with the lived experience of cross-cultural exchange. For the Japanese African Americans were both powerful occupiers and fellow second class citizens 'beneath' white soldiers in the world racial order" Bridges pp. 16-17. Landscape quarto 255 x 342 mm.

THE JAPANESE ART OF BUNJIN-GA WAS INTRODUCED IN THE 17TH CENTURY FROM CHINA'S SOUTHERN SCHOOL OF PAINTING.

Wen ren hua or Nanga Southern School painting; Ch. nan zong hua both terms borrowed from China. Wen ren hua refers to the status of artists who belonged to the scholar-gentleman class.
