WILLY POGANY'S DELICATE & COLORFUL ILLUSTRATIONS CAPTURE THE WONDER TWO AMERICAN CHILDREN EXPERIENCE TRAVELING THROUGHOUT JAPAN in the early 1900s. They share everything they learn ABOUT JAPAN'S UNIQUENESS: CUSTOMS, THEIR DRESS, ARCHITECTURE and more.
POGANY Has Created Eight Double-Page Color Plates. A poem is under each illustration. The brown text is large-sized. Pages published hinged, french-fold. The delicate colors illustrations are different from Pogany's usual style.

NY:McBride, 1915, 1st edition. Purple paper bds over a brown spine. Lovely pictorial label on front cover. Printed at the Complete Press, West Norwood, England. The last two double spreads are very slightly off register - barely noticeable. There is a bookplate on front paste down.(ep).
On chapter !!! there is a brown stain - but it is the publisher's inking error. Some rub to corners.
