Plenty of shelf wear, fading and yellowing of pages, book is 120 years old, fourth printing 1904, former owner’s signed name and name sticker inside front cover, spine coming apart in some places see photo, info and view of Japan 1900s, the Map of the Empire illustration page 310 is missing an interesting old time accounting of Japan, the dust jacket is missing. If you can get past the physical condition of the book it is a fascinating study of a complex interesting country in its past
