Japan's Imperial Forest Goryorin, 1889-1946: With a Supporting Study of the Kan/Min Division of Woodland in Early Meiji Japan, 1871-76 Totman, Conrad (Book #ID 85147) Published by Global Oriental Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2007. 2007. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original green cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 8½'' x 5½''. Contains [xxx] 184 printed pages of text with monochrome photographs and maps. This is the first study of its kind to trace the history of what was to become one of Japan's major resources and a model of conservation and forestry management. Central to the planning of the Meiji reformers was securing the long-term financial stability of the Imperial household that would not leave it exposed to the whims of future political and economic change. The solution was the goryorin, or imperial forests. Over time, however, the acquired land generated controversy within the framework of law and other imperatives, and was finally abandoned by the Occupation authorities because of the political ideology that was its raison d'etre in the first place. In Part II, the author explores the great early Meiji debate between government and people (kan/min) concerning the reorganization of woodland in Japan which generated a widespread conflict [it actually lasted for decades], pitting the new regime against the country's village population - at that time comprising some 80% of the population - thereby creating the greatest conflict between government and people in the history of Japan. It was, in essence, a contest for control of the realm. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, unused and unopened new book. We carry this book in stock for immediate dispatch.

Reporting the Russo-Japanese War,1904-5 | Lionel James's First Wireless Transmission to ''The Times'' Slattery, Peter [Lionel James] (Book #ID 87018) Published by Global Oriental Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2004. 2004. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original green cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 5½''. Contains [xvi] 144 printed pages of text with monochrome photographs. Lionel James's First Wireless Transmission to the "Times", Peter Slattery, Large numbers of British military and naval officers as well as journalists and others observed the Russo-Japanese War from close quarters. But there was one journalist in particular, the "Times"' correspondent, Lionel James, who made war-reporting history by gaining access to the conflict zone of the war at sea and reporting by wireless from a specially chartered ship as the action happened. The full details of this remarkable and highly dangerous exploit have been carefully pieced together from official "Times" records and other sources by Peter Slattery and recorded here for the first time, including the story of how the vital 180-foot timber wireless mast was built on the British-leased tree-less promontory of Weihaiwei on the China coast. James' first report was published in "The Times" on 15 March 1904; he subsequently went on to file many other dispatches, including the sinking of the Russian flag-ship the Petropavlovsk. The World Powers, however, were not ready to accept that a mere journalist should be allowed to exploit the new wireless technology to gain reporting advantage and forced James to give up, causing him to move inland into Manchuria to continue his reporting of the war. From there, he was to send a 5000-word story on one of the major land battles of the war at Liaoyang - the longest cable ever filed. There was also the matter of James' special deal with the Japanese Imperial Navy, which only now has come to light. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, unused and unopened new book.

Nagasaki | The British Experience, 1854-1945 Burke-Gaffney, Brian [Thomas Blake Glover (6 June 1838 - 16 December 1911) was a Scottish merchant in the Bakumatsu and Meiji period in Japan]. (Book #ID 85303) Published by Global Oriental Ltd., Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2009. 2009. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original navy cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 6''. Nagasaki is something of an outlier in Japanese history. While the country closed itself off from external influence between the 1630s and 1853, this western port remained partially exempt, a crack through which people, ideas and products could pass. Today, the city retains its cosmopolitan attitude and atmosphere. Brian Burke-Gaffney's study focuses on what he calls 'the British century' in Nagasaki, when Japan opened up and the city became a focal point for adventurous foreigners, among whom Brits were prominent. The study moves both chronologically and thematically through the period, examining political, economic and social interactions between the immigrant communities and locals. Burke-Gaffney, a Canadian scholar who has lived in Nagasaki since 1982, does an exemplary job of balancing the narrative. The bulk of the tale is taken up with 1880 to 1905, when Nagasaki thrived and bustled. His prose is imbued with an obvious love for the port and its people, and the story whips along. Personalities loom large, none more so than Thomas Glover, that whirlwind of Scottish industry who had a hand in much of the excitement and expansion during this time. Though the book ends with the dropping of the atomic bomb on August 9, 1945, the Nagasaki of today is vibrant, packed with gripping history and colourful life, and a must-visit on everyone's itinerary.

A Reader in Edo Period Travel Plutschow, Herbert [Kaibara Ekiken (1630-1714) Matsuura Takeshiro (1818-1888)]. (Book #ID 92237) Published by Global Oriental Ltd., Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2006. 2006. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original black cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 10'' x 7¼''. Largely ignored hitherto by Western scholars, Plutschow's Edo Period Travel provides the first in-depth study of the subject which is centred on fifteen of the period's most notable travellers, some of whom are well known in other fields - as intellectuals, artists, poets, folklorists and natural scientists, for example - but rarely, if at all, as travellers. The first traveller put in the spotlight is the celebrated intellectual and botanist Kaibara Ekiken (1630-1714) and the last is the explorer of Ezo (now Hokkaido) and government official Matsuura Takeshiro (1818-1888). Such was the thirst for knowledge in the Edo period that some travel accounts (estimated to number over 2000) became best-sellers in their day, not least for their voyeuristic appeal, including those of Kaibara Ekiken and Tachibana Nankei, which are included in this volume. This important research on how the Japanese discovered their own country and cultural identity has considerable interdisciplinary appeal. Of particular interest also is the author's discussion on the nature of this new travel writing and the self-centred observation and seeing that developed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, he calls the 'Japanese Enlightenment'.
