Jameson, E.W. Jr. The Hawking of Japan. Privately printed, California, 1962. pp. 94. The only account of Japanese falconry in English. Dr. Jameson lived and hunted in Japan. While there, he also studied the history and development of falconry, the sporting hawks used there, and Japanese hawk housing, equipment, trapping, training, and care. This book is known for its thorough research and attention to detail, examining not only the technical aspects of falconry, but also its symbolic meaning and social importance throughout Japan’s history. The book has 19 black-and-white figures, five photos, and five colored, tipped-in plates. This elegant book is in "as-new" condition, with no signs of wear. The plastic book cover has slight damage in the upper spine area and a tear in the main section. This first edition is difficult to find, and only 700 copies were printed. No shipping to European Union countries at this time.
