Author: Sino-Japanese War.
Title: [Ehon Nichi Shin Kan Sensoki].
Description: Tokyo, Kinjudo 1894 (Meiji 27). 12x8cm publisher's wrapper with title label; engravings on folded leaves: 15 double page, two single page and one four page. A nice copy with its colour woodcut outer wrapper. ¶ A fabulous copy of a fabulous little book; this is a near exquisite (in the sense of bijoux books for ladies and aesthetes) little book celebrating the bloodshed and mayhem of the Sino-Japanese war all done in engraved plates. There are two - at least - books from the same publisher with the same title but the pictures are different. So even if you have this title you may not have this book. Worldcat only finds the Diet Library entry.
