"50 Books That Transcend Time and Space" The Toyo Bunko Price: - #ToyoBunko #Books #History/General This catalog explains the characteristics of 50 items from the Toyo Bunko's collection that have themes generally familiar to the public. The explanations are easy to read and concise, avoiding technical terms as much as possible, and written by young researchers and curators. The items included are selected materials for understanding the history and culture of the East. Please note that when we say "East" here, Japan is included as part of it. Diversity is a characteristic of the East. In the long flow of time, at what world history and Japanese history events do each of the items included in this book belong? To help you understand this, we have adopted a method of simply looking at them chronologically, freely crossing national and regional spaces. Furthermore, two of the items included in this book are newly acquired. One is the "East India Voyage Record," which marks the beginning of the Netherlands' advance into Asia, and the other is the "China Coastal Chart," donated by the late Dr. Skinner, known as a leading scholar of Chinese history in America. The Toyo Bunko plans to introduce new acquisitions and various collections that have historical value but have not been widely known from time to time, so please look forward to it.
