Title: Sangai no Mado Kara [From the Third Floor Window]
Author: [Japanese Americana]. Oka, Morito
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: About very good.
Description: Tokyo, 1929. About very good.. 249pp. Original drab printed wrappers. Spine lightly toned and chipped, light soiling and wear to covers. Inscribed on title page, contemporary ink notation on rear endpapers. First edition. A collection of essays originally published in the Japanese American News; the author worked for the Los Angeles branch of the newspaper. The essays, most quite short and some comprised of just a few lines of poetry, offer observations on Japanese-American life and culture. Content is personal commentary rather than journalistic reporting, but does include one poem about smuggling people over the U.S.-Mexico border (p.65). Others address the second generation Nisei. We note that the author's name is transliterated differently in several places and is, quite possibly, a pseudonym. The present copy is inscribed on the title page, possibly by the author. We note two copies in OCLC at the National Diet Library and Waseda University. JANM Bibliography, 216. A Buried Past, 677.

First Edition. 12mo (17.75cm.); publisher's pictorial staplebound wrappers; [36]pp. Spine expertly repaired, wrappers a bit dampstained and upper cover trimmed at bottom edge affecting text without loss of meaning, textblock uniformly toned due to inferior paper stock, else a Very Good, sound copy. Anti-militarist Tarnschrift attributed to the German anarchist Arnold Roller, brother of Max Nomad, with whom Roller edited the militant periodical "Der Weckruf" from 1903 to 1907. Decoy wrappers give the pamphlet the appearance of being a soldier's handbook ("Fünfte Auflage) adorned with a quote from Kaiser Wilhelm II dated 1892: "Now you belong to me with body and soul. Now you have only one enemy and that is mine" (our translation). Interior text anti-militarist propaganda, including contributions by the Polish Jewish poet Ludwig Palagyi, French novelists Guy de Maupassant and Anatole France (translated into German), and German poet and Social Democrat Max Kegel. OCLC locates three copies in North America as of March, 2020, at Hamilton College, U. Chicago, and U. Michigan.
