About This Item
Tokyo: Beikoku Jitsugyo Shisatsudan, 1920. First Edition. A business-oriented travel guide to the United States with additional sections devoted to Europe, South America, and Cuba. The book offers advice on obtaining permission to travel (a somewhat difficult endeavor given anti-Japanese sentiment in the US), information on traveling by rail across America, recommended hotels for entrepreneurs and wealthy travelers, manners and customs, and Western businesses with trading operations in Asia. There are also short directories of prominent Japanese people in New York and London.
Illustrated throughout with halftone photographs; with a fold-out map of Manhattan. English-language introduction by the Marquis Shigenobu Okuma. Many advertisements throughout for Japanese and American businesses, including a full-page Japanese-language ad for Brentano's Bookstore in New York.
[2 plates], 9, [1], 4, [2], 3, [1], 9, [1], 488, 29, [4] pages, plus numerous ads and plates not included in the pagination.
Not in A Buried Past (or other standard bibliographies), however no. 213 is a related book detailing methods for obtaining a visa to travel to the US.
OCLC: 673739931 (Harvard, Japan). First edition (first printing). A very good hardcover copy, bound in blue cloth. Undoubtedly lacking a publisher's box.
