BASEBALL JAPAN Shihon Gakkou henABAA

SHÔGAKU TOKUHON Maki no Ichi

1870811701870. BASEBALL - JAPAN Shihon Gakkou-hen. SHÔGAKU TOKUHON Maki no Ichi. Aichi-ken Nagoya Shihongakkô 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 books

NICHIBEI SHUKO TSUSHO JOYAKU. TREATIES OF AMITY AND COMMERCE

1858WRCAM52130AJapan 1858. Five volumes. 58; 58; 54; 58; 58pp. Original stiff textured tan wrappers stitched as issued each with printed paper title label. Some minor shelf wear and dust soiling. Very good. An attractive set of the "Ansei Five-Power Treaties" the formal diplomatic engagements between Japan and the United States United Kingdom France Russia and the Netherlands ending Japan's 250 years of seclusion and opening its ports to worldwide commercial trade so named for their signing in the fifth year of the Ansei era. The first treaty also known as the Harris Treaty was signed by the U.S. on the deck of the USS "Powhatan" in Edo now Tokyo Bay on July 29 1858. It opened the ports of of Shimoda Hakodate Kanagawa and Nagasaki to foreign trade effective July 4 1859 and then Niigata and Hyogo on January 1 1860 and January 1 1863 respectively. In addition to extensive trade and consular provisions the treaty also established the rights of U.S. citizens to reside permanently lease property purchase real estate and construct residences and warehouses; established a system of extraterritoriality whereby U.S. residents were subject only to the laws of their own consular courts and not the Japanese legal system; and established freedom of religious expression and the right to construct churches to serve the needs of U.S. residents within the confines of designated foreign settlements. The treaty followed the Convention of Kanagawa signed under threat of force in 1854 after Commodore Matthew Perry's aggressive visits to the Shogunate in 1853 and 1854. The Convention had granted coaling rights for U.S. ships and allowed for an American consul in Shimoda but Perry left the more important trading negotiations to Townsend Harris New York businessman and eventually the first U.S. Consul General to Japan. <br> <br> Each of the five volumes details the negotiations between Japan and a specific foreign power. These other accords are similar and duly inspired by the U.S. treaty; each nation forced Japan to grant the same "favored nation" provisions they had granted to the U.S. The Dutch already had several treaties with Japan; they were the only Western power to retain trade relations with Japan after the final expulsion of Europeans in 1638 and had been advising and supplying the Japanese navy since 1853. However once the U.S. had sealed its "Treaty of Amity" the Dutch quickly revised theirs to match on August 18 1858; Russia followed on August 19; Lord Elgin signed for Britain on August 26; and Jean-Baptiste Louis Gros commander of the French expedition in China signed for France on October 9 1858. Subsequent Japanese and Chinese scholars refer to these treaties and subsequent agreements as the "unequal treaties" as none of the provisions were ever reciprocated. <br> <br> This set is uncommon. We found only one record for another incomplete set at auction. This is the first time we have handled this title. unknown books

Japan 19th Century Guide BookABAA

Illlustrated Guide Book for Travellers Around Japan. By B. Wyeda and T. Aoki

188926938Osaka Japan: Aoki Szandow 1889. C. 120 pages; most of which have an illustration and sometimes two. Text in Japanese; titles given in English. Colin Franklin in 'Exploring Japanese Books and Scrolls' calls these publications an "appealing series of guides As travel within Japan had been restricted for three centuries and travel abroad forbidden these represented the new freedom. They combine charm with taste and a fine vagueness about that obsession of modern publishers "the market." As book-production they jump into more popular format with color-printed pictures over boards to bind themwith English captions erratic and fearless the many hundred illustrations which adorn the Japanese text.were they for the tour-guide to show his visitor - or in the world for Japanese travelers to show their guides Neither of these perhaps just a venture over the border into Western habit. They are excellent little books to leaf throughTechnically too they joined West with East. A new method was used for illustration: relief metal-cut like white-line wood engraving - Bewick's technique - difficult and delicate to manage practical in Japan for just a few years in the last quarter of the century. Paper suitable for such fine-line reproduction smooth machine-made was folded at the fore-edges in the traditional Japanese way. End-leaves and all edges were marbled an innovation for which as has been mentioned these books are now admired by collectors in JapanThey providetempting glimpses of all manner of scene and aspect of life on the eve of change" This is one volume of the 7-volume series. Approx. 4" x 6" size; bound in illustrated paper covered boards; cloth spine marbled endpapers all edges marbled. Some edge tips wear to the binding; contents in very good condition. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. Aoki Szandow hardcover books
