Really wonderfully packed with photos of every aspect of Japanese life, and photo tour of Japanese districts. Also includes charming prints and many contemporary ads. Front photos are dignified portraits the royal family. Interior is fresh and bright. Binding is sound with thick sturdy covers. Covers with bright, well-preserved pictorial print. Spine is sunned, and back cover has a heavy scratch. Edges rubbed as expected, with spine ends a little frayed. Gift inscriptions covering front endpage. Very presentable overall.
