Drago Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Hi, I found this book in a small antique book store near Dresden. No idea how it got there! Please check my translations. The main title is something I haven't been able figure out. Title: 日本地埋大系別卷五富士山 - ??, Special Volume 5, Mount Fuji Author: 武田久吉 - Takeda Hisayoshi Publisher: 改造社版 - Kaizousha Underside of slipcase: 第十七回配本 - 17th edition Date: Showa 6 It has a small sticker of the Kitazawa Bookstore in Kanda Tokyo inside the back cover. Book is in almost perfect condition. Half the pages are text, other half pictures of Mt Fuji and surrounding area. It's about topology, ground profiles, local plants etc. One more question: The last page lists publisher etc. info. There is a post-stamp like sticker (bird and publisher title) with the stamp of the author - is this like an autograph? I'll post some pictures and further questions when I find my camera. P.S.: One page is damaged. Does anyone know the publisher's website (I know they still exist) so I can ask for a copy of the page? Quote

Drago Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks. But how do you read the title? My dictionary didn't list that kanji-combination... Quote

Nobody Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 More precisely, "日本地理大系別巻五富士山" means ... 日本 (Nihon/Nippon) - Japan 地理 (chiri) - Geography 大系 (taikei) - Anthology 別巻五 (bekkan 5) - the 5th supplementary volume 富士山 (Fuji-san) - Mt. Fuji Quote
