Zustand: Fine. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original grey cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 5½''. Contains [xxviii] 272 printed pages of text. This is a most important new work on Emperor Hirohito by one of Japan's leading historians, Ikuhiko Hata. Following the untimely death of Marius B. Jansen (Emeritus Professor, University of Princeton) in December 2000, who had been actively collaborating with the author and translator of the original Japanese edition ("Hirohito Tenno itsutsu no ketsudan", first published in 1987 and republished in 1994), it was inevitable that there would be a delay in publication of the English edition, which is finally now available. In his extended Foreword as editor, referring to the nature of Hirohito's power, Jansen states: 'We are left with puzzles that will probably never be resolved. Clearly, as Professor Hata and others have shown, the Emperor Hirohito had immense power, but the condition of retaining it was judicious restraint in exercising it'. In offering a view on the merits of Hata's research, Jansen points to the hitherto unknown plots (in parallel but unrelated) by both the Army and Navy to preserve, and if necessary resuscitate, the imperial line in the event the victors decided to depose Hirohito. Jansen also points to the merits of Hata's particular focus on the contribution Hirohito made to Japan in its post-war relations with the United States. Jansen added substantive notes to help place the author's material in historical and historiographical perspective. The book, which is not a biography or a general history of the Showa era, focuses on five decisions taken by Emperor Hirohito, which the author considers the key turning points of his reign: these concern the 26 February 1936 insurrection of young army officers, the termination of the Pacific War, the post-war constitution, the issue of abdication and the San Francisco Peace Treaty.

8 Typed Letters, 4to, 2 of two pages, others one page; 1 Typed Letter, 12mo, one page; one PC; one Autograph Letter, 12mo, one page; all Signed "Balcarres" with one TLS signed "I Spielmann" [Isidore Spielmann], writing on behalf of Balcarres. A. Postcard, 10 June [1909]: "Asquith ]Prime Minister] will receive a private deput[atio]n next week - will write again Note: David Alexander Edward Lindsay, 27th Earl of Crawford and 10th Earl of Balcarres, (1871 - 1940), styled Lord Balcarres or Lord Balniel between 1880 and 1913, was a British Conservative politician and art connoisseur. "As concern grew with Britain's art treasures being sold abroad (principally the United States), Balcarres chaired the National Art Collections Fund beginning in 1903 (through 1921), presiding over the acquisition, together with Robert Witt (q.v.) and Isidore Spielmann (1854-1925), of the Rokeby 'Venus and Cupid' by Velazquez, which was in danger of leaving the country." "Sir Isidore Spielmann, CMG FSA was a British civil engineer turned art connoisseur, impresario and exhibition organizer". Subjects of Letters: Meeting with the Prime Minister (postcard and letter dated 12 June1909); request to attend the Annual General Meeting of the Society "either to move the resolution re-appointing the Committeee, or support the adoption of the Report" (letter from I. Spielman on behalf of Balcarres), 18 April 1906; news that the King has become a Patron (same); congratulations on Terrell's speech, with valuable personal experience (27 April 1906); hoping for Terrell's attendance at the Annual Meeting "to take charge of one of the resolutions", valuing his "practical assistance" to the movement (19 April); Balcarres quotes a letter from a D.M. Probyn writing on behalf of the King who is pleased that Holbein's 'Dichess of Milan' has essentially been saved for the nation, and contributes 100 guineas to the reserve Fund (7 June 1909); the meeting with Asquith "informal and quiet", and the difficulty of starting a "scheme of legislation which would involve prolonged discussion" and work for someone already over-burdened, perhaps limiting to "the minimum, namely, an export duty", preparing for a "comprehensive bill" (12 June 1909); he'll present Terrell's "advanced scheme" to Asquith, hoping for 'legislation on broader lines' but aware they must be happy with export duty (16 June 1909); he looks forward to Terrell's pamphlet [Terrell had published on economic matters] (28 July 1909); Balcarres discusses the need for a reserve fund at length (21 February 1910); he agrees with Terrell that the Reserve Fund should only be used in "exceptional circumstances", maintaining a distinction "between the Reserve fund and the ordinary income of our society" (28 Feb. 1910); he discusses the need for "office accommodation" and the attitude of the Government/Treasury, reluctant to establish a precedent" (24 July 1912).
