CANADA POST STRIKE NOTICE:
Orders received after Nov 14th will ship via an alternative carrier.
CANADIAN PO BOX ADDRESSES:
Unfortunately, we will not be able to ship to PO BOX addresses within Canada during the strike as only Canada Post has access to deliver to those. Please provide an alternate address or we can hold them for you until the strike is over but please note that even then shipping may be delayed as they work to resume normal operations.
Illustrates Japanese domestic life, religion, folklore, old Tokyo, Kyoto, politics, education, literature, customs, festivals, theatre, etc. Written by the Envoy Extraordinary Minister Plenipotentiary who represented Switzerland during his two-year stay in Japan from 1863 to 1864. Because of his diplomatic position, he was able to travel beyond the barriers of the foreign enclave at Yokohama, a privilege accorded exclusively to diplomats. Embellished by sketches done while travelling. A wonderful insight into nineteenth-century Japan before the influence of foreign powers.
