Japan and South Manchuria. First edition, first printing, of this elusive guidebook to Japan and its colonial territories. The booklet was sponsored by the empire's principle railway and steamer firms "in the hope that a better international understanding will be engendered and a more intimate commercial relationship developed" (introduction).WorldCat records a single copy (University of Delaware), with another traced at the National Museum of Taiwan History. This title is not to be confused with a single sheet guide of the same name which is found in a number of institutions.
