About This Item
This rare and stunning 1910 edition tells the true (though exaggerated) story of Miyamoto, Japan's most famous sword expert, philosopher and ronin. It features two maps and several beautiful illustrations, some of which are in color. It is in good condition save for a water spot on the top of the spine of Volume II. The tissue paper used to cover and protect the colored illustrations is intact, but spotted. At some point in its life, a bookseller placed a sticker over the "Published by Author - Yokohama" text on the title pages of both volumes. See photos. Otherwise, these volumes have aged extremely well.
This book was self-published by the author as a small collection and is exceedingly rare and would make a proud addition to collectors specializing in world history, Japan, samurai, Eastern philosophy or rare books.
