Japan, Australia and New Zealand Large, scarce book filled with illustrations
[Japan] Very interesting and informative book that was one of Japan's many attempts to try to promote her relationship with Australia and New Zealand, even when relations were becoming very strained. WWII would break out just 5 years after this book was published. Filled with articles on the various industries, nature, and outlook of the three countries, including a couple promoting the active role of women in Japan. Numerous advertisements throughout.
