1717E05562 volumes. 2865911 pages with 4 plates and index; 106786 pages with 4 plates one folding and index. Quarto 10" x 8" bound in half leather with raised spine bands in gilt lettering to spine over marbled boards. Streit-Dindinger VI 1418. Second edition of a 1689 history of missions to Japan prefaced with a general account of the country.<br /><br />Jean Crasset was an ascetical writer born at Dieppe France 3 January 1618 and died at Paris 4 January 1692. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1638 became professor of humanities and philosophy was director for twenty-three years of a famous sodality of men connected with the professed house of the Jesuits in Paris and was also a successful preacher. Crasset is the author of many ascetical works among which are:Methode d'oraison; Considérationes chrétiennes pour tous les jours de l'année; La chrétienne in soli tude; Dissertation sur les oracles des Sibylles which was vigorously attacked; Entretiens pour la jeunesse. He also published in 1689 a Historie de l'église du japon which has been translated into several languages but which is considered inferior to that of Charlevoix. Crasset's history was scarcely original for it was drawn in great part from the work which Father Solier had issued in 1627; he merely retouched the style and continued the narrative from 1624 to 1658. The objection is made that the work lacks precision is heavy and is crowded with details. The author attributed the origin of the persecution of 1597 to the imprudence of the friars in making their religious ceremonies public. There is a posthumous work of his entitled La foy victorieuse de l'infidélite et du libertinage. On 9 September 1656 the Bishop of Orléans issued an interdict against him for having in one of his sermons charged several ecclesiastics with sustaining the propositions condemned by the Bull of Innocent X Cum occasione 31 May 1653. The interdict was removed in the following February.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Nicely rebound in half leather. Contents toned and damp-stained St. Charles Borromeo Seminary stamp on titles else a very good set. François Montalant hardcover books

The covers and the twelve double-page spreads within are printed after work by several important artists and illustrators including Takei himself.

The covers are a bit rubbed and slightly stained and soiled but overall a good copy of this extremely ephemeral publication. unknown books

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
738736 folding leaves of which four are blank. 8vo 240 x 170 mm. orig. blue semi-stiff wrappers wrappers somewhat worn orig. label heightened in gold with manuscript title new stitching. Japan: n.d.<br /> During the Edo period there were 12 Korean delegations to Japan whose purposes were 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 /> 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 gifts and the Japanese in turn furnished equally lavish gifts including large quantities of silver. Also the receiving Japanese were obligated to fund a number of elaborate and costly banquets during the delegation's travels on the mainland and in the capital city as well as provide accommodations throughout.<br /> Our manuscript is concerned with one of the three final missions which took place in 1748 1764 and 1811 this last mission was held on the island of Tsushima located roughly halfway between Kyushu and the Korean mainland. All three of these missions experienced considerable cost-cutting. We suspect our manuscript is a record of the banquets for the final 1811 mission as there is a reference to a Russian translator at this time there was considerable tension between Japan and Russia because of the Russian desire to open trade with the island nation.<br /> Our manuscript describes a series of banquets served during one of these three final missions. In spite of the newly instituted austerity it is clear that the participants ate very well. For each of the 13 banquets we are given the number of guests and their official positions the number of dishes per tray what foods were served etc. Some of the banquets were limited to just a dozen or so guests and others included more than 300 people. <br /> The cuisine is very much in the tradition of the ritualistic preparation and serving of the food on a series of trays known as honzen ryori "main tray cuisine" which was the dominant banqueting style for the elite from the Muromachi period through the Edo period. Various seafoods including luxury items like lobster smoked fish roe octopus and preserved fish are listed along with preparations of chickens eggs many kinds of vegetables burdock daikon radish ginger eggplant wild wasabi and many vegetables that are today quite obscure cooked in various ways pickles mushrooms fruits persimmons pears yuzu nuts rice and other grains and elaborate confections including sweets of Portuguese origin like pound cake or kasutera.<br /> Fine copy preserved in a chitsu. unknown books
