1895 — Japan; The Land of the Morning by Rev. John W. Saunby

Description

Japan; The Land of the Morning (1895)
Toronto: Methodist Mission Rooms

A late 19th-century account of Japan during a period of profound transition, written by Rev. John W. Saunby.

This volume presents a blend of historical narrative and missionary perspective, tracing Japan’s movement from its feudal past into a rapidly modernizing society. It reflects how Western missionaries understood and engaged with Japanese culture at the time, touching on education, faith communities, and social change.

Illustrated throughout with black and white engraved plates, typical of the period, offering detailed visual impressions through finely lined imagery.

302 pages. All pages are secure with no seam splits. Some bumping to the edges (see images in the gallery for detail).

A solid example of late 19th-century Canadian religious publishing, and an increasingly uncommon imprint with its illustrations intact.
