ASIA

A selection of rare and interesting items dealing with Asia, including some Japanese books on kimono designs.

The most unusual is probably the imperial edict scrolls written in Chinese and Manchu on silk from 1871. Others are Hulbert's important work on Korea, Tagore’s Parrot’s training, Abel-Remusat’s translation of The Doctrine of the Mean (L'invarablemilie) and Atkinson’s book on Yokohama Pidgin.
