This is "The Analects and the Abacus," a representative work by Eiichi Shibusawa, who became the face of the 10,000-yen bill and the subject of a drama, making it a hot topic. While several new editions are currently published, this is a reprint of the first edition from the Taisho era. It was created by the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry to commemorate its 130th anniversary and is a limited edition of 1,000 copies. Despite being a compact book convenient for carrying, it is bound in a sturdy hardcover and features gilt edges, making it a rather luxurious binding. An explanatory booklet is included as an appendix. This is a reprint from 2008, and nearly 20 years have passed since the reprint. Being a limited edition, it is now difficult to obtain. It is offered at a low price. There are several instances of successful bids on Yahoo Auctions at prices higher than the current listing price. There are minor scratches on the gilt edges, but they are still shiny, and the main body and text are in good condition. For those who wanted to read "The Analects and the Abacus," please take this beloved edition in its original format. Notes: This item is only the main body of the book, without the original slipcase. There is a slight crease on the explanatory booklet (see image). There are minor scratches on the gilt edges (see image). Overall, it is clean and shiny. There is a small scratch on the spine of the cover (see image). The text of the main body is clean.
