Description

This five-volume facsimile reprint from Edition Synapse brings the first editions of An Official Guide to Eastern Asia to your collection. Originally prepared by the Imperial Japanese Government Railways, this series represents the most important publication used to promote Japan to the West. The guide was planned by Shimpei Goto, a leading statesman and the first director of the South Manchuria Railway Company in 1906. After finding that Western publishers like John Murray and Baedeker provided incomplete and inaccurate information about the region, Goto developed this official resource to provide a more accurate view of Japan and East Asia. This Modern Tourism Library set offers a deep look into the trans-continental connections between Europe and Asia through a historical lens.

Key Features

This set includes a five-volume facsimile reprint of the original first editions.

The collection is part of the Modern Tourism Library, volume 1.

These volumes cover trans-continental connections between Europe and Asia as prepared by the Imperial Japanese Government Railways.

The guide was developed by Shimpei Goto to provide accurate information regarding Japan and East Asia.

This publication serves as a historical record of the efforts to promote Japan to Western audiences.
