SAKE MANUFACTURERS’ RECORD BOOK
Seller
Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description
51 leaves (including one blank). 8vo (245 x 172 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, orig. stitching. [Japan]: 1856. A fascinating record book, containing notes from 1838 to 1867 (in spite of the cover date of 1856), concerning the business of making sake and the brewers’ relations with the government. Sake brewing in Japan has long been a highly regulated industry and an important source of tax revenue. The bakufu instituted the licensing system called “Sakekabu” in 1657 in order to regulate the number of manufacturers and the amount of rice used. The “Sakekabu” itself is a wooden license tag, carrying on the front the name and address of the brewer, along with the amount of sake he could make. On the back of the tag was the official seal of the local finance ministry. “Sakekabu” licenses could be transferred or leased to other brewers within the same province. Produced in Shimosa province (today’s Chiba Prefecture), this record book chronicles the regional brewers associations’ relations with the provincial tax authorities from 1838 to 1867. We find accounts here of brewers leasing their licenses, names of governmental officials who had oversight of the industry, many names of sake makers, guaranteed quotas of koku and koji, details of the brewing equipment that could be leased (including a wonderful list of the names of the various sizes of barrels), etc. Fine copy, with some minor worming.

1883. CARLYLE, Jane Welsh (CARLYLE, Thomas, editor). Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle, Prepared for Publication by Thomas Carlyle. London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1883. Three volumes. Octavo, contemporary full tan polished calf, elaborately gilt-decorated spines, raised bands, burgundy and blue morocco spine labels, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt. $1200.First edition of the first selection of Jane Carlyle's letters—""an electric-shower of all-illuminating brilliancy, penetration, wise discernment, just enthusiasm, humor, grace, patience, courage, love,"" according to her husband Thomas Carlyle, who arranged for the letters' publication—three volumes handsomely bound by Riviere & Son.""It is hardly disputed that she is the greatest woman letter writer in English. Her skill often lay in the immediacy of her letters; their appeal lies partly in the story that emerges from her self-dramatization. Short excerpts can barely do them justice. Their effectiveness has nothing to do with elegant prose, to which she could always rise, much to do with her sympathetic imagination, clear head, alertness, and a quick eye and ear for entirely natural expression… Yet her letters should not be treated simply as autobiography. She was an artist, with a keen and critical eye for the weaknesses and strengths of others. She had a strong and alert intellect, and her insights, whether skeptical or irreverent, are always direct. Her companionship with Carlyle was an education itself, as his with her… His unheard-of decision to publish her letters so completely was justified; he was convinced that they give 'such an electric-shower of all-illuminating brilliancy, penetration, wise discernment, just enthusiasm, humor, grace, patience, courage, love—and in fine of spontaneous nobleness of mind and intellect' surpassing 'whatever of best I know to exist in that kind' (Carlyle, Reminiscences, 161). Her other writings show no such power. She was unwilling to make the effort to express herself in other forms, and probably unable. Nevertheless she was a great writer"" (ODNB). Tarr, Carlyle G1.1.I-III.a. Interiors clean and fine, joints lightly rubbed, bindings sound, near-fine and quite handsome.
