About the book >.>.> The purpose of the Tourist Library Series is to give to the foreigners interested in Japan a basic knowledge of various phases of Japanese culture. When completed the Series is expected to include a hundred volumes or so which will help to give a complete picture of Japanese culture old and new and it is hoped that by perusing these studies of Japanese life the reader will gain an insight into the unique culture that has developed in this country throughout the ages. The Library was started in 1934 by the Board of Tourist Industry and was passed over to the Japan Travel Bureau in 1943 when 40 volumes had been completed. From the beginning the Library attained a high reputation as a concise but reliable interpreter of Japanese culture and the demand for the volumes steadily increased both in Japan and abroad. Un- fortunately however the old volumes are out of stock. The Japan Travel Bureau therefore has begun a new series revising and reprinting some of the old volumes and issuing others on entirely new and equally interesting subjects. Each volume in the Library is the work of a recognized authority on the subject.
