Shiseido Baby Japanese-English Dictionary

Tokyo:  Shiseido, Showa 4 Period

From the 1920s (1929) - RARE!

Condition:  Fair-to-Good for almost 100 years old (wear on cover, wear on spine--see photos).

Description:  Thick, miniature book (4.9cm x 3.7cm x 1.9cm).

"Seoul Korea 1945" is written on the title page in blue ink (see photos), making me think it was used during WWII!  It shows signs of wear.  The binding needs a little repair.

Review — A rare, remarkable, very cute miniature Japanese-English dictionary from the very beginning of the Showa period (late 1920s).  For each entry, the word in Latin alphabet, the Japanese kanji between brackets, the English translation, and additional expressions when relevant.
