SHOGAKU TOKUHON Maki no Ichi

81170187. BASEBALL - JAPAN Shihon Gakkou-hen. SHOGAKU TOKUHON Maki no Ichi. Aichi-ken Nagoya Shihongakko Teacher's College n.d. 1870's An interesting little elementary school reader from the first series of textbooks designed and created by the Teachers College Normal School system in Japan after the Meiji restoration to introduce "Western Learning" to the country. What follows is a series of excerpts from an informative article found online at http://wwwwp.mext.go.jp/hakusyo/book/hpbz198103/hpbz198103_2_035.html "The Normal School which was under the direct jurisdiction of the Department of Education was also requested to compile elementary school textbooks on the basis of its practical experience. Also an office for editing elementary school textbooks was set up in the Normal School in December 1872. The Department of Education encouraged independent prefectures to reprint the textbooks and other educational material which it and the Normal School had compiled and it was not long before most of the prefectures adopted this practice and the reprinted textbooks were in nationwide use. Especially following the establishment of regulations for the course of study for elementary schools by the Normal School the textbooks prepared by this institute gained wide acceptance. These textbooks included elementary school readers introductory geography outlines of Japanese topography outlines of world topography outlines of Japanese history outlines of world history elementary school arithmetic etc. .The elementary school textbooks proved to be an interesting introduction of the new knowledge based on the Civilization and Enlightenment Bunmeikaika thought and they were accepted not only as textbooks but also as popular reading material for the public at large. Thus their influence was of considerable importance in the dissemination of the new culture." It is pretty clear that the introduction of Western culture also entailed the introduction of a least a variety of baseball in the 1870's as well a fact confirmed by other sources on the origins of baseball in Japan. The American educational consultants and their Japanese colleagues in Aichi saw fit to include a cut and a story with a group of boys playing with bats and balls pitching and hitting - interesting proof that baseball is nearly as old in Japan as it is in the States. The text of the story crude. unknown

Oblong folio. 14.5 x 10.25 in. 24 pp unpaginated. brown bifolium leaves w/ slits cut into corners backing paper within the created pouch and 24 silver gelatin printed-out-paper hand-painted watercolour photographs a few w/ captions w/in the negative all printed on the special medium thickness gelatin printing-out-paper also no bleed-through from the nicely executed water-colouring. Contemporary beige-coloured rough raw padded silk post-binder punch-sewn at gutter margin w/ golden silk braid minor wear & fraying to upper & lower fore-edges wear to corners some scuffing occasional minor tears to brown paper fore-edges still a VG- exemplar from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm 1840-1932 noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon industrialist and entrepreneur. An exceptional Taisho-era souvenir album composed of nicely watercolour-painted gelatin printing-out-paper photographs allowing the artist to achieve an ethereal and mystical effect in the images almost as if there is frequently a mist overlaying the scene. These are definitely not photomechanical collotype or gravure process images and the softness achieved in the production indicates these were developed as glass-plate negative contact prints exposed to strong sunlight on an exceptional medium weight thickness matte-finish paper. This series of images capture the road to the Nikko Toshogu Shrine; the famed Five-Storied Pagoda located at the entrance; one wing of the Tokugawa Ieyasu Temple; the iconic Three Wise Monkeys on the inside of the shrine once part of what was originally 8 monkeys on the unpainted wooden sacred stable in front of the Yomoeimon. Also included here are photos capturing the splendid Yomeimon Gate famed for its glittering impact with more than 240000 pieces of gold leaf the Sukibei Wall at the Toshogu Shrine the Nikko Station at the Shrine and the interior of the Nikko Temple. One of the exceptional photos included here is that of the Jiun-ji Temple of the 74 Narabi Jizo Statues along the road to the Kanmangafuchi Abyss along with nicely executed photos of the Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. Although unidentified by photographer’s imprint within negative or on verso of inserted images these types of souvenir photographs could be purchased from souvenir and stationery stands in Nikko Kyoto or other tourist spots from 1885 until after World War I.

[Missionaries]: [Hawaii]: [Japan]Biblio.com

Annotated Vernacular Photograph Album Documenting American Christian Missionaries in Hawaii and Japan

192812860Various locations in Hawaii and Japan 1928. 12 leaves illustrated with 123 mounted sepia-toned photographs many captioned in the image area occasional manuscript captions on the album leaves. Oblong folio. Contemporary pictorial cloth illustrated with various Japanese motifs string tied. Minor wear to cloth. Internally clean. Very good. An attractive and informative vernacular photograph album memorializing the experiences of Protestant missionaries in the Pacific. Protestant missionaries came to Hawaii starting in the 1820s and eventually became quite socially and politically influential. The first Protestant missionaries arrived in Japan in the mid-1840s. They were relegated to treaty ports and prohibited from proselytizing but once these restrictions were lifted they were fairly successful with 300 churches and 34000 converts by 1889. Their main avenue was education and by the 1920s they were well established in this sector.Â The present album of photographs were taken by an American missionary in Hawaii and Japan in 1927 and 1928. It is not entirely clear whether the photographer did any missionary work in Hawaii or if it was just a stop on the way to Japan; the photos from Hawaii show Honolulu harbor from the deck of the President Madison the "Club House" and Diamond Head. The photographs from Japan are more clearly missionary. The photographer was involved in teaching in Kyoto; captions include "Kami Kyoku Bishamon Cho" listed as a theological school in the 1928Â Japan Mission Year Book "Japanese Language School" "The Faculty" "Nihongo Faculty" and "St Agnes Ena -- Music." There are two St. Agneses in theÂ Year Book both middle schools one in Tokyo and one in Kyoto. Two photos of an older Japanese man in a clerical collar captioned "Mr Hayakawa" suggest this is the St. Agnes in Kyoto as Mr. K. Hayakawa is listed as the head of that school. Other individuals listed in theÂ Year BookÂ include Sally Rembert Thora Johnson and "Maxine" who is probably Maxine Schannep with the ABCFM. Generally the school shots are exteriors of buildings and people posing outside of them; there are also shots of Christmas trees at St. Agnes the students of "Helenâ€™s Kindergarten" in Koriyama girls in school uniform with deer at Nara Park and several of the nurse's home at St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo. Other photos show life around Kyoto and other cities including Nikko and Fukui. Most of the men are in Western dress while the women and children wear kimono. Two photos of Buddhist monks included in the album were taken by Japanese photographer Kurokawa Suizan; these show a KomusÅ in a tengai hat playing the flute and a kasa-hatted monk on the steps of a building. Finally some uncaptioned shots show a procession taking place in front of an audience. Some in the procession carry flags a few are on horseback and a few carry plants on their heads and part of the procession carries a litter. Overall the album documents both religious education and everyday life in late 1920s Japan; of particular interest to historians of Protestant missionaries. unknown

Cold War Military History 11th Airborne Division Arctic Angels Training and Occupation Duty in Postwar Japan 1947

1947196441947. 11th Airborne Division paratroopers photographed during the early American occupation of Japan document airborne training and daily military life within one of the most distinguished U.S. Army airborne units of the Second World War. More than two hundred photographs dating primarily from 1947 depict members of the 11th Airborne Division conducting parachute jump training weapons drills and daily base activities while stationed in Japan after the end of the Pacific War. The photographs appear to have been assembled by a soldier identified through accompanying material as Jeff C. Wall likely assigned to a military government team in Yamagata Prefecture. The images capture the division during the transitional period between wartime combat service in the Pacific and the emerging American military presence in East Asia that characterized the early Cold War. Archive contains 217 Silver Gelatin photographs ranging from approximately 2.25 x 2.5 inches to 4.75 x 6.5 inches depicting paratroopers of the 11th Airborne Division in Japan. The archive includes twelve photographs documenting parachute jump training sequences from aircraft exit through descent and landing as well as several images of fully equipped paratroopers lined up before boarding troop carrier aircraft. Numerous photographs show soldiers around transport planes and other aircraft on base airfields. Additional images depict artillery and machine gun training exercises paratroopers assembled outside a command building displaying the slogan "Shape Up or Ship Out" and informal scenes of soldiers gathered around barracks or posing in groups. The photographs also record elements of base life including an enlisted men's club ticket associated with the Yamagata Military Government Team women service personnel including a nurse playing cards with soldiers and views of the surrounding Japanese landscape. Approximately fifteen photographs show Mount Fuji and nearby terrain around the camp in northern Japan. The 11th Airborne Division earned distinction during World War II through its combat operations in the Pacific theater particularly during the campaign for Luzon in the Philippines in 1945 where the division conducted airborne assaults and participated in the liberation of Manila. Units of the division also carried out a well known raid that freed Allied prisoners from the Los Baños internment camp. Following Japan's surrender in 1945 the division became part of the U.S. occupation force tasked with maintaining security and administrative control across parts of Japan. The 1947 photographs document airborne training and routine service during this occupation period when American military forces remained stationed throughout the country while the geopolitical tensions of the emerging Cold War began reshaping U.S. global military deployments. In later years the division was reassigned to Alaska where its airborne operations in Arctic environments led to the nickname "Arctic Angels." Minor handling wear typical of vernacular military photographs. Overall condition very good. unknown
