(Book #ID 85851)

Published by Global Oriental Ltd., PO Box 219, Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2007. 2007.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original burgundy covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 10'' x 7''. Contains [xvi] 255 printed pages of text with small monochrome photographs throughout. This collection of essays on a century of official Japanese representation in the United Kingdom completes the history of bilateral diplomatic relations up to the mid-1960s, concluding with Ambassador Ohno Katsumi's highly successful six-year assignment in 1964. In all, twelve authors, half of whom are Japanese, contribute to the work. In addition to the nineteen biographies, there are essays on the history of the Japanese Embassy buildings in London, an overview of Japanese envoys in Britain between 1862 and 1872 by Sir Hugh Cortazzi, as well as aspects of embassy life which illuminate some of the factors impacting on the life-style of residents in London in former times, including an entertaining personal memoir by Ayako Ishizaka of "A Diplomat's Daughter in the 1930s". By way of appendix, the volume concludes with a short history of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Gaimusho) up to the present day.

Hard back binding in original three-quarter nutmeg and quarter cream leather covers with symbolic quenching design to front and rear fore edges, gilt title to the spine with two small tools, front and rear covers tooled with four designs of tsuba and with contrasting Japanese Nioi-Giri paper edgings and deep burgundy red hand made Japanese end papers. 8vo. 8'' x 6''. Japanese swordsmithing is the labour-intensive bladesmithing process developed in Japan for forging traditionally made bladed weapons (nihonto) including katana, wakizashi, tanto, yari, naginata, nagamaki, tachi, uchigatana, nodachi, odachi, kodachi, and ya (arrow). Japanese sword blades were often forged with different profiles, different blade thicknesses, and varying amounts of grind. Wakizashi and tanto were not simply scaled-down katana; they were often forged without ridge (hira-zukuri) or other such forms which were very rare on katana. Contents: completely hand written in English using black fountain ink, [iv], red and black title page single motif in red from the front cover, 33 pages illustrated with 11 hand drawn monochrome illustrations, loosely inserted test pull swatch of light blue paper used for the front cover.
