This report was written primarily for the use of the U. s. Strategic Bombing Survey in the preparation of further reports of a more comprehensive nature. Any conclusions or opinions expressed in this report must be considered as limited to the specific target covered and as subject to further interpretation in the light of further studies conducted by the Survey. It can be said without exaggeration that no matter what terms are used to explain the extent of damage caused by this one bomb, any statement regarding the havoc created at HIROSHIMA would be an understatement. Yet, should one attempt to do it justice through a complete and documented description, the reader could still not conceive of the magnitude of the destruction, both in human lives and property, because of the lack of a parallel with which to make a comparison. Many of the personnel concerned with civilian defense were killed and much of the equipment destroyed. Nearly all records were burned. Because of the historical importance of the incident, a brief study was made to determine the potentiality of a full survey of civilian defense organizations and operations before, and at the time of, the atomic bombing. The absence of informative sources made this impracticable, and this report is, therefore, not a thorough, analytical study. It consists of impressions based upon inspection and of such information as could be gleaned from officials, citizens, and records which were still available. The United States Strategic Bombing Survey (USSBS) was a written report created by a board of experts assembled to produce an impartial assessment of the effects of the Anglo-American strategic bombing of Nazi Germany during the European theater of World War II. After publishing its report, the Survey members then turned their attention to the war efforts against Imperial Japan during the Pacific War, including a separate section on the recent use of the atomic bomb, Little Boy. In total, the reports contained 208 volumes for Europe and another 108 for the Pacific, comprising thousands of pages. The reports' conclusions were generally favorable about the contributions of Allied strategic bombing towards victory, calling it "decisive". A majority of the Survey's members were civilians in positions of influence on the various committees of the survey. Only one position of some influence was given to a prominent military officer, USAAF General Orvil A. Anderson, and that only in an advisory capacity. Anderson was the only one on the survey board who knew about procedures of strategic bombing as Jimmy Doolittle's former deputy commander of operations. While the Board was not associated with any branch of the military, it was established by General Hap Arnold along with Carl A. Spaatz. This report addresses the story of the attack, civilian defense activities, air-raid warnings, fire services, emergency medical services, shelters, evacuation, informing and training of the general public and financing. Comments were provided. Exhibits includes a map of Hiroshima showing ground zero, a chart showing the Chain of Command of civilian defense organizations, the Table of Organization and equipment of the auxiliary police and fire units and several sub-divisions, transcripts of interviews with S. Nimura, Hiroshima city engineer; Y. Yamano acting chief of the city fire department, and S. Yabuki, chief of the East Hiroshima fire department. The report ends with a Glossary of Japanese characters with English terms. Presumed First Edition, First printing There is a place for a Copy No. but no number is present.

Large folio. Size: 42.5 x 32 cm. Comprises twelve paintings on silk pasted on gilt speckled strong paper. Orihon bound. Each painting signed by Hôzan with artist's seal. Original silk padded boards, decorated in gilt, paper label (without title) on upper cover, gilt edges. A very exclusive and rare album with beautiful delicate pictures, painted in gentle colours, by a distinguished artist of that time. The illustrations depict: Two travelling sambaso dancers; Boys with kite; Ohara woman with horse; Women gathering shells; Children at play; Bijin on balcony; Country dancers; Woman carrying child; Woman beating cloth; Geisha and attendant; Boys and snow puppet; Man firing a kiln. Uejima Hôzan (1875-1920), was born in Kasaoka, Okayama. He moved to Osaka where he studied with Kimura Kanzan and Watanabe Shoeki. He was a skilled animal artist who excelled in bijin painting. When he died he was as famous as Uemura Shõen (pseud. for Uemura Tsune) (1875-1949) but was soon unfairly forgotten, as he still is today.

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Light soiling. Very small area of loss to the left of center near the bottom edge. Size 20.75 x 30.75 Inches. This is a 1934 infographic composite map of Japanese commercial and military production, produced by the publisher Sh?gakukan. It features maps, graphs, and tables representing relative national power. Though intended for an audience of children, it was published during a period of rising Japanese imperial ambitions and reflects Japan's growing confidence on the world stage. A Closer Look The colorful sheet is divided into parts, with six maps, a similar number of charts and tables, and additional illustrations and text, all dealing in some form with 'national power/strength' (??), measured in terms of military capabilities and economic output. At top-left is a 'Japanese Navy Map' with the location of ports, naval airfields, and coastal fortifications, while a similar 'Japanese Army Map' appears at the top-right. Adjacent to the corresponding navy and army maps are tables of the relative naval and army strength of various powers (the Soviet Union, U.S.A., U.K., France, Italy, and, in the army table, Germany). Just below the title is a world map noting the types of goods exported (??) by Japan to various countries (indicated in blue circles and including agricultural goods, cotton, and silk) and the goods that Japan imports (??) from them (indicated by red circles and including some cotton and agricultural goods, but more often commodities like oil, iron, machinery, and coal). Notably, products from Manchuria, ruled by the recently established Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo, are recorded as imports, though in reality they functioned more like goods produced domestically. The vast, resource-rich region was already a significant contributor to Japan's economy before the establishment of Manchukuo, but became even more so in the mid-1930s; a frontier for exporting people from overpopulated Japan and Korea and importing the goods they would produce there. In the middle of the sheet is a world map (centered on Japan) displaying the territory of the major countries and empires. To its left is a set of pie charts demonstrating the amounts of various goods produced in Japan and the regions that produced the most of a given good. These charts reveal, for instance, the importance of Osaka to the silk industry and Kyushu for mining, as well as the products sent from Japan's frontiers (Hokkaido) and colonies (Taiwan and Korea), such as beef, rice, and wheat, to the metropole. To the right of the world map at the center is a similar set of pie charts plotting the relative share of production of various goods in different countries, showing, for example, America's domination of cotton production and Japan's similar command of silk production. At the bottom-right is an illustrated map of Japan displaying the various goods produced in different regions of the country (including Taiwan and Korea) and a transportation (rail) map of Japan appears at the bottom-left. Next to the illustrated map is a pie chart of various countries' share of global paper production, and below is a bar chart of the number of military airplanes held by major powers. Next to the transportation map is an illustrated representation of major countries' national debt per capita and national wealth (presumably gross national product) per capita. At the bottom-center and surrounding the map is promotional text for Sh?gakukan's various publications, especially Sh?gaku Rokunensei , for which this sheet was printed as a supplement. As it was intended for children, the sheet liberally employs furigana , in which the easier to read kana are written in superscript next to the more difficult kanji. It is notable that a publication intended for children (albeit older children) would so casually discuss matters of geopolitics and relative military strength. Japan was not unique in this regard, though this sort of map and re.
