This magazine came from a small family collection.  About the set:

Published by the Kanagawa Foreign Affairs Department, the magazine’s audience was Americans doing business in Japan, or living in the area. The entire magazine was in English, and judging by the names, probably from the US or other former British colonies.

Each issue has a pretty consistent format:

• News, with a bias toward business news, and usually about trade or manufacturing.
• Articles about traditional Japanese art or culture.
• History of Japan, usually about foreign diplomacy.
• A feature on a factory in Kangawa.
• News about development in Kanagawa, generally about some industrialization or infrastructure project.
• A back cover of a traditional art form or performance.

This publication is very much about industrial modernization in Japan, but half of each book is devoted to history and art.

This description is for what's typical in the entire set, and not necessarily this specific issue. Please look at the photo with a table of contents for an exact list.

Some items may have writing on them.
