Biography of Ekai Kawaguchi "I will travel with the clouds and water," said Ekai Kawaguchi, and set off alone for the Himalayas. Around the year 1900 AD, Ekai Kawaguchi crossed the Himalayas alone and was the first Japanese person to infiltrate Tibet, which was then a closed country. Kawaguchi described the journey in "Travels in Tibet," conveying the Tibet of that time to the present day. This book is a biography of Ekai Kawaguchi. While there are multiple biographies of Ekai Kawaguchi, I liked the writing of Naoshi Okuyama. It is written with great passion and love, as if approaching Kawaguchi with affection. It is now out of print and has become rare. - Author: Naoshi Okuyama - Title: Biography of Ekai Kawaguchi - Publisher: Chuo Koron Shinsha - Published: 2003, First Edition - Price: 3200 yen With obi (paper band). There is a mark like where paper was attached when the cover was opened. (See the last photo) There is some yellowing due to aging, but I think it is in generally good condition. Please consider this item, understanding that it is a used item. #EkaiKawaguchi #BiographyOfEkaiKawaguchi #kerori'sEkaiKawaguchi #kerori'sFavoriteBooks #kerori'sRecommendedBooks
