The Latest Overview of Harbin: Sakaguchi Tokuzaburo, 1941
The Latest Overview of Harbin — 1941
A contemporary overview of Harbin, edited and printed by Sakaguchi Tokuzaburo and published in 1941. The volume offers a survey of the city at the height of the Manchukuo era — its conditions, institutions, and civic life set down as a current account for readers seeking to understand one of the great cities of the Northeast as it then stood.
Issued in 1941, the work captures Harbin at a defined and consequential moment, drawing together a picture of the city's circumstances in the years of mounting continental tension. As a period overview it provides historians a primary contemporary reading of the city's standing and character.
A genuine survey of its time, of clear interest to historians of Harbin and of the Northeast, and well suited to a serious collection of Manchuria and Northeast Asian historical materials.
Offered by KT Vintage, drawing on decades of trusted international sales to discerning collectors and institutions across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
