The vivid accounts of Captain Cook's and others explorers' voyages to the Sandwich Islands Hawaii and other Pacific islands generated interest in the U.S. to properly educative Hawaiians in both academic and Christian teachings. The school formed under the direction of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM would serve to educate foreign students in preparation for missionary work in their native lands and elsewhere. <br /><br />A Narrative of Five Youth from the Sandwich Islands was the first of many publications intended to raise funds and stir up popular support for the new school as well as for the first Christian mission sent to the Hawaiian Islands three years later. The publications were a great success leading to the significant funding and public support critical to early efforts to fold Hawaii within the cultural and commercial influence of the United States.<br /><br />BOOK INFO<br /><br />Published in 1816 in New York by J.

It was a critical resupply port for American ships on the trade route to China and a lucrative source for sandalwood. American merchants saw commercial possibilities that could be expanded. Protestant missionaries saw heathens in need of salvation via Christian conversion.<br /><br />This is a biographical account of and strong bit of fundraising propaganda on how five Hawaiian youths were saved from their heathen ways and savage pasts through a civilized education and Christian conversion. While the backgrounds of the youth vary - one was the son of a chief and another the survivor of brutal inter-tribal warfare for example-- the stories of these five youths share a number of common elements. All had spent time as sailors on American trade ships. Three had served at sea in the War of 1812. Most had experienced periods of extreme hardship after reaching New England. All found sponsors teachers and spiritual guides who helped them on their path to converting to Protestantism.<br /><br />CONDITION INFO<br /><br />The book is Good to Very Good by early 19th century American imprint standards.<br /><br />Binding is tight. Leather is supple. Areas of dust and light soiling to cloth. Lightly toned pages overall with light foxing. Some abrasion to paper along gutter margins of first few pages. Browning to first and last page with some brittleness and chipping. The paper used by the printer was quite thin so the text block background is darkened a bit by opposing page text on the same leaf as in all copies. No writing ex libris marks or library markings. Slight loosening at the head of the first few leaves where binding cords are exposed. A few smudges marginal paper nicks and other signs of light handling.<br /><br />.</p> J.

A superb scroll painting on silk 39.5 cm. wide by 233 cm. long painting size: 29.5 x 185cm. fine mounting pale silk chrysanthemum patterned border flawless flawless excellent pastel colors excellent condition.RARE! THIS IS A GREAT AND STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL HAND-PAINTED SCROLL THE SUBJECT: Kato Kiyomasa 1562-1611 was the son of Kiyotada a relative of Hideyoshi Toyotomi and served him and distinguished himself as one of the seven most famous warriors of that time by his heroic acts at the Battle of Shizugadatake. . During the invasion of Korea he followed Yukinaga Konishi -1600 to Pusan and on to Seoul in 1592 where he fought so fiercely that the Koreans named him "Devil Kiyomasa." Yukinaga was a Christian warrior & retainer of Hideie Ukita and was appointed Lord of Settsu by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. . Hideyoshi appointed these two to spearhead the Korean invasion with Yukinaga the commander. The plan was to launch waves of army corps by ship across the 56 mile wide Tsushima straits to Pusan. Some 300000 fighting men a truly serious force embarked. The first force of 9200 Samurai armed with matchlocks bows and swords set out. Upon landing they rapidly advanced North up the peninsula taking out Korean castles and subduing the regions through power of force. They advanced to Seoul as the armies divided into two parts each racing to see who would enter Seoul first. . At Cho-ryung pass they united then both advanced on Seoul & took the castle as the Korean King and his entourage fled over the river at Imjin where the Koreans up their valiant effort to check the Japanese. This is a most magnificent painting of both Kiyomasa and Yukinaga as each holds a Naginada while the Korean King prepares to rides a black steed effecting his escape while being protected by a retainer who also holds an elaborate Naganada with the Imperial banner. THE ARTIST AND PAINTING SCHOOL: . This work was done in the Utagawa school style and was likely painted by Utagawa Kuniyoshi or one of his star pupils. It was painted in the "Ukiyo-e" style similar to that of a color woodblock print. . It is painted in a firm solid confident strong hand this work is executed with most impressive brush strokes style & manner expressing the Bushido spirit celebrating triumph over the Koreans. Marvelous detail to the whole work renders this a major piece. Skillfully drawn & painted on silk which is the most difficult medium to control ink flow this work is flawless and a fine example worthy of display in any Tokunoma. . The top is blue paper with black Sumi inscription naming the heroes and citing the Korean Battle. REFERENCE: For biographical details see JAPAN BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA & WHO'S WHO pp.592 689-90. .
