This collection showcases rare Meiji-era Japanese translations of pivotal New Testament writings: the pastoral epistles (First and Second Timothy, Titus, and Philemon) and the Johannine Epistles (First, Second, and Third John). These texts reflect the rich tapestry of cultural and religious exchange during Japan’s period of rapid modernization and westernization, embodying the country's increased openness to Western influences, including Christianity.
