- Summary:
-
Perhaps Sladen' s most scarce book on Japan: a detailed guide to Tokyo, Yokohama, and other famous places nearby for foreigners. The book is particularly interesting for the numerous advertisements scattered throughout, for Kirin Beer and companies selling wine, silk, laquer, yuzen, clothes, jewelry, pianos, and so on. Most notable, however, are the advertisements for early Japanese photography company Tamamura & Co. and the famous photographer Ogawa Kazumasa (1860-1929). The book itself includes 2 leaves of black and white photographic collotype plates taken by the latter. Includes a list of Sladen' s other works, including Australian Lyrics, A Summer Christmas, Australian Poets, Australian Ballads and Rhymes, and so on. A scarce work on Japan by a long-time Australian resident. —Kagerou Bunko catalogue, Melbourne 2018.
