Admiral Togo: A Memoir

Tokyo: Togo Gensui Publishing Society, 1937. First edition. Hardcover. Orig. publisher's gray patterned cloth decorated in gilt. Teg. Very good. 347 pages. 30.2 x 23 cm. Illustrated with 22 color plates with tissue guards and black and white illustrations. A tribute in the laudatory style of contemporary Japanese imperial culture; the encomiums for Togo who died in 1934 never cease. His exploits in the Russo-Japanese war won him national renown, some modest extremity rubbing, solid binding, internally clean.
