Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. This is a book of full color pictures that illustrate the term Naorai, which can be translated as "partaking together", referring specifically to the sharing of food between the gods and mortals. Since ancient times, food has been an important means of communication between human beings and the divine. Ritual offerings reflected the bounty of nature, or of the harvest were first made to the Kami (local deities), or to the Buddha.

The exterior is worn and shows edge wear, scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. Interior with minor signs of wear.; "The photographs included in this book depict Japanese landscape and customs during the years from 1870 and 1890. They have been produced for people from the Western world, particularly America and Europe in order to illustrate the olden days of Japan and they do this in a more interesting and realistic manner than do paintings of the same era. A century ago these photographers were sold to foreign tourists visiting Japan to assist them in their sight seeing, and for reference purposes. It may well be that some have been sold in album form in both America and Europe. Records such as this are both valuable and interesting in their depiction of life in the Japan of 100 years ago, especially when one realizes that picture postcards as we now know them did not exist at that time. The contrast with modern Japan can be easily appreciated. Most of these photographs were collected in England, France and the U.S.A. after World War II by Mr. Meikichi Okamura. who was born in 1931 in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, and is now the president of Toa Phot Co., Ltd. He is an enthusiastic collector of old photographs and antique photographic apparatus, and the photographs shown in this book are but a portion of his collection." introduction.…
