This is a complete catalogue, in Japanese with a parallel
Japanese/English introduction, of early books acquired by the
diplomats W. G. Aston, Ernest Satow, and Heinrich von Siebold in
Japan, mostly in the 1860s and 1870s. Of the 2,500 items, some are
manuscripts and some movable-type books from the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries; the bulk, however, are wood-block printed
books of the Edo period (1600 1868). The editors' introduction
outlines the history of the collection, identifying some of the
more important items and explaining the bibliographical principles
on which the catalogue has been compiled. The entries that follow
give title, author/editor/illustrator, date of publication and/or
printing, all participating publishers, and the seals of previous
owners.
