Hardcover. Etat : Very Good-. Illustrated by Genjiro Kataoka (illustrateur). 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Color Illustrations; This book is in Very Good- condition and is missing the accompanying dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. There is a thinish two inch strip of discoloration to the front cover along with some light ground-in dirt. The text pages are clean and bright. This book includes twelve full color watercolor plates by the artist Genjiro Kataoka who is best known in the United States for his realistic reprensentations of Japanese life done in watercolor during the early 1900's. Though he began as an impressionistic painter, and artist, he found continual work as an illustrator for books about and by Japanese during a period of intense curiosity for the Orient. "Frances Little (November 22, 1863 January 6, 1941) was the pseudonym of American author Fannie Caldwell. Caldwell and her husband, businessman J. D. Macaulay, made their home on Fourth Street in Louisville, Kentucky. Her debut book The Lady of the Decoration was published in New York City in 1906 and would be her most successful work. The "Lady" rode the wave of American interest and support for Japan in the Russo-Japanese War, and supports the Japanese cause throughout. Set between 1901 and 1905, it is written as the diary as a young missionary kindergarten teacher in Hiroshima, Japan who before and during the Russo-Japanese War. She travels to Vladivostock, Russia just before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War and makes a number of critical observations. At the dawn of the 20th Century, most Americans knew very little of Japan, and Little's novel presented a view of Japanese life that captured the imagination of the reading public, who made it the No.1 bestselling novels in the United States for 1907."
