1934. String tied album, scrapbook-style. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued.
Scrapbook-style string tied album of photos captained in English and Japanese. Held in a stapled slipcase. The front shows a map of Japan in gilt with titles and a 'Red Cross'. 10.25 by 7.25 inches; 66 unnumbered pages the last page is a map/plan of the hospital.
Inscribed on the rear paste-down in Japanese.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with modest fading of the cloth. The slipcase is sound with handling marks.
We have not located any other copies. There is one similar recorded in OCLC/WorldCat but has only 18 pages and another of 63 pages at Harvard. One may be at the Mahidol Univ Library, Thailand but there is not enough details given to determine. The Japanese Red Cross Medical Center is a hospital located in Hiroo, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. It is the central medical center of the Japanese Red Cross Society, and is directly controlled by it. The site of Hiroo, Tokyo, where the medical center is currently located, was where a mansion of Horita Binakamori once stood. [wiki]
The Japanese Red Cross Hospital, the predecessor, was built on the current location in 1891. In front of the bus stop there is a circa 500-year-old tree, which is the largest ginkgo in the area with a circumference of 4.7 meters or more, and was designated a natural monument in Shibuya-ku.
