Contemporary ink ownership on ffep. So^seki is, of course, one of the most important literary figures of modern Japan. His own written works and his contributions as a professor of English literature helped to form the taste of his own educated contemporaries and those that followed. It is no accident that his face adorned the 500 yen note in postwar Japan. In any event, this is an important early translation, well illustrated and in excellent condition, with the very scarce original printed dustwrapper.
