1945185980Pacific theatre: 1945. Iwo Jima's first American newspaper Scarce examples of this American naval publication. In 1945 Auburn participated in the assault on Iwo Jima allowing the editors to bill the Auburn Press as "Iwo Jima's first American newspaper". We have traced physical copies at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum Research Centre and the University of Wisconsin-Madison only. According to the 4 March 1945 instalment the circulation numbered 700 copies. As typical for the genre each number combines news with lighter-hearted and recreational content including at times a crossword. That for 16 March proudly proclaims "Iwo Secured" on its special front page while under the headline "Jap Suicides Becoming Popular" the 15 September number describes the abolition of Japan's Imperial General Headquarters and the drastic measures taken by some senior military and government officials to escape accountability for the war. A separate notice issued in late September gives the current newspaper staff and surveys the ship's contribution to the Allied victory. a Volume III Number 4 4 March 1945 8 pp. 1 page blank. b Volume III Number 16 16 March 1945 12 pp. c Volume III Number 17 17 March 1945 8 pp. d Volume III Number 19 19 March 1945 8 pp. e Volume IX Number 15 15 September 1945 10 pp. f Volume IX Number 21 21 September 1945 10 pp. g Single-sheet notice c. 28 September 1945. 6 issues and single-sheet notice c. 330 x 200 mm.

1854103501Nagasaki: c.1854. Wonderful locally-produced image of the Vostok a steamship that took part in Vice-Admiral Euphimy Vasil'evich Putiatin's mission to negotiate trade arrangements with the Tokugawa shogunate which were to result in the signing of the Treaty of Shimoda the first treaty between the Russian and Japanese Empires. Putiatin sailed from Russia in the frigate Pallas and stopped at Portsmouth for refitting before facing the rigours of rounding the Cape of Good Hope and while there he also purchased an "iron-hulled screw steamer the Fearless and renamed it Vostok" Grainger The First Pacific War p.51. The Vostok was captained by Voin Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov a graduate of the St Petersburg School of Mathematics and Navigational Sciences and elder brother of the famous composer. Various delays meant that Putiatin's squadron arrived shortly after Admiral Perry's similar expedition but the Russian's more measured approach contrasted distinctly with that of the Americans and were to eventually ensure a highly successful outcome. It was recorded that during the squadron's second visit to Nagasaki "just before he left Nakamura Tameya the secretary to the plenipotentiaries a member of the new special committee to introduce steam ships to Japan came to the schooner Vostok with Putiatin and a Japanese artist to have a look at its engine. The artist made a quick sketch. It was the first steam ship to visit Nagasaki harbour and only the third to visit Japan" McOmie The Russians in Nagasaki 1853-54 p.54. The present print was probably based upon the drawings and notes made on that occasion. The captioning includes reference to the squadron's first arrival in August 1853 departure in November their return in January 1854 and departure the following month with no mention of mission's subsequent return in April. The rest of the text is largely given over to technical data; length 30 ken or a shade under 60 metres and width 8 ken 16 metres; two masts; funnel circumference 6 shaku about 2 metres; and a note identifying where the "power comes from to create the steam to turn the propeller which is under the ship". Russia is interestingly described in a manner assuming little knowledge of the world outside Japan: "The country of Russia is to the east of Japan. To west is Tartary and to the south is the Yezo continuing on to the country of Japan. The number of ri approx. 4 km of the land of the large country is east to the west 1000 ri. From the south to north it is more than 1500 ri. Their customs literally customs/manners/looks are similar to those of the Americans But are also unlike them". A fascinating and uncommon commemoration of this world-historically important first contact. Woodblock print with applied colour 354 x 475 mm. Window-mounted in ebonized wood frame with gilt sight-line. Lightly browned and a few minor creases judicious restoration to a few short splits and scrapes but overall very good indeed. unknown

1113722 folding leaves. Narrow tall 8vo 343 x 123 mm. orig. self-wrappers orig. stitching. Japan: on upper wrapper in trans.: “28 January 1764.â€<br /> <BR> <BR> During the Edo period 12 Korean delegations were sent to Japan mostly to congratulate a new Tokugawa shogun. The missions which normally included 300-500 Koreans accompanied by roughly 1500 Japanese escorts symbolized the amicable relationship between the two nations and in the early years served to legitimize the Tokugawa shogunate.<br /> <BR> <BR> These delegations which usually took nine or ten months round-trip were enormously expensive undertakings for both countries. The Koreans brought many luxurious presents both public and private offerings and the Japanese in turn furnished equally lavish gifts including large quantities of silver. During the Korean mission’s stays the Japanese government was responsible for all expenses and provisions for their guests.<br /> <BR> <BR> The present manuscript is an account of the diplomatic mission sent by the Koreans in 1763-64. The mission totaled 497 people and took 382 days. The members of the embassy included chief and auxiliary envoys a document official three translating officials with assistants ten translators two copyists a poet a painter three doctors army officers musicians horsemen clerks captains pilots servants commissariat officials gift guardians trumpeters six for each of the three principal envoys soldiers and sailors. The mission sailed from Pusan to Osaka stopping at Tsushima on the way and then travelled by land to Edo via Kyoto.<br /> <BR> <BR> Our manuscript provides menus of the elaborate banquets the Japanese offered to their guests accounts of the special ceramics created at the kilns of Shigaraki used at banquets itemized lists of the provisions and their quantities including rice seasonings condiments and miso routes and stops along the way from Osaka to Edo housing arrangements official proceedings distribution of horses to the delegation itemized balance sheets detailing expenses of the mission etc.<br /> <BR> <BR> The cost of this mission was so enormous for both countries that the next and final mission of the Edo period was a toned-down meeting in 1811 on Tsushima island conveniently located in between both countries.<br /> <BR> <BR> On the upper wrapper we find the name Imochi Heizaemon 井æŒå¹³å·¦è¡›é–€ and on the penultimate leaf we find the place-name Hachiman 江州八幡町 which is in today’s Shiga Prefecture.<br /> <BR> <BR> Nice fresh condition.

218441Tokyo. No date. Late Edo. Folding manuscript map ink and watercolour 82 x 61 cm red chop at one edge. Evidence of worming mainly affecting the edges and central fold professionally strengthened with archival washi tide-mark to the verso of the map and the wrappers but an appealing example of this delicately executed and sought-after map of the Korean peninsula. A late Edo period hand-painted colour copy of one five maps produced by Japanese scholar Hayashi Shihei to accompany his famous 1785 banned work "Sangoku Tsuran Zusetsu" "An Illustrated Description of the Three Countries" - the three countries in question being Japan's neighbours Korea the Ryukyu Kingdom now Okinawa Prefecture and Ezo now Hokkaido Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. <br> <br>This detailed map of "The Eight Provinces of Korea" was probably based on Korean maps but Hayashi added details including the existence of the residence in Busan maintained by envoys from the Japanese Domain of Tsushima which had a relationship with Korea throughout most of the Edo period. He also adds text showing the distance between this residence and the Korean capital in both Japanese and Korean measurements and includes latitude lines though these are somewhat inaccurate - placing the 38th parallel south of the Korean capital. His map interestingly gives the Korean words for the four cardinal directions written in Korean script. Unlike Hayashi's "Illustrated Description of the Three Countries" this map does not show the contentious Takeshima/Dokdo/Liancourt Rocks which are too far out from the coast to fall within the frame of the map although it does include the island of Ulleungdo closer to the east coast of Korea. <br> <br>This copy is undated but inscribed with the words "Map by Hayashi Shihei of Sendai". A red chop in the lower middle shows that the map was owned by the Iijima Family in Matsushiro Domain Nagano Prefecture. The family were known as historians of the domain. . unknown

1942176989South-east Asia: 1942-45.

Organized into sections the information in these binders is very detailed and concerns the structure of artillery groups tactics and deployment and particular campaigns. For example a section on the attack on Hong Kong notes "The Japs were adept at dragging guns to the tops of hills and siting them in positions very difficult to locate. Ammunition was plentiful and was maintained by forced local Chinese labour. Any coolie failing to work up to Japanese expectations was shot out of hand. The 9-inch gun is believed to have been mounted on a previously and secretly prepared concrete mounting in the Japanese Golf Course grounds or even in the Club House on the mainland" Vol. 1 f. 9. Other material offers technical data and specifications for different guns and shells and included are pages from Periodical Technical Summary a restricted briefing issued by military intelligence in India. Supporting the text are photographs taken from other sources skilled technical drawings of weaponry and diagrams and sketch maps. The collection offers a forensic perspective on the conduct of Japanese artillery offensives in south-east Asia and the channels through which Allied personnel aggregated important strategic and technical information.
