Japanese Inn

A first edition, first printing of Japanese Inn by Oliver Statler, published in 1961 by Random House. This engaging historical narrative traces centuries of life along Japan’s Tokaido Road through the lens of a single inn, blending travel, culture, and storytelling into a vivid portrait of the country’s past. The volume is enhanced by numerous illustrations that complement the text and help capture the atmosphere of the era. A well-preserved copy in near-perfect condition, representing an increasingly scarce early printing from a major American publisher - ideal for collectors and readers of Japanese history alike. Missing dust cover.
