I acquired this Japanese book in July 2013 from a Canadian book enthusiast Jean-Guy Rioux who lives currently in Japan. Thank you Jean-Guy!!! Very difficult book to find. Additional photos: I wish to thank Kayoko as she's informed me (via Frode) that the last scan of page 467 shows that the book was printed on 5 August 1931 and that it was published on 10 August 1931. It was published by two newspapers, one in Osaka and the other in Tokyo. They are Osaka Mainichi Shimbun and Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shimbun. |
