Dr. Shodo Taki, M.A., Ph.D. - Japan Today : A Pictorial Guide - 1948

Fascinating illustrated edition of this documentary illustrated work devoted to postwar Japan, designed to reveal the country through its landscapes, its traditions, its ways of life and its cultural particularities -

Published in the context of the Allied occupation of Japan after the capitulation of 1945, this guide is intended in particular for foreign military personnel, their families, as well as for people wishing to better know the archipelago and prepare a stay on its territory -

The work is distinguished by the central place given to photographs, which allow the reader to concretely discover Japanese realities rather than being limited to a purely theoretical or descriptive presentation -

Its organization rests on several major themes, including transport, customs, souvenirs, tourist visits, hotels and inns, houses and gardens, sports, entertainment as well as the particularities of the Japanese language -
