There is no date on this beautiful book of images from hand-colored photos taken in early 20th century Japan. I do not know the publication date. It was purchased by a member of our parish who donated it to our book sale. She visited Japan in the 60's. I have seen it described as being from the early 20th century on a couple other spots on the internet. The book is in excellent condition, lovely fabric and paper quality.
