How the 'Social Evil' is Regulated in Japan Scarce, informative work on prostitution
[Japan] Very interesting booklet (author unknown) that descibes in detail the system of prostitution in Japan including payment, taxes, fines for disobeying rules, data on the number of brothels and prosititutes employed etc. The second section quotes parts of other works written by Westerners such as Kaempfer, Henry Norman, J.J. Rein, and Mitford, who all spent time in Japan and wrote something about the topic. A second edition was apparently published in 1910.
