Antique pair of booklets from the Instructor Literature Series published by F. A. Owen Publishing Company in 1913. This set includes 'What I Saw In Japan' by William Elliot Griffis (No. 246) and 'Fuzz In Japan' by Emma M. Maguire (No. 290), offering a unique historical perspective on Japanese culture, architecture, and daily life through early 20th-century educational lenses. Both softcover pamphlets feature period illustrations, including depictions of rickshaws, traditional homes, and historical landmarks like the Fukui Middle School and Ping Yang gateway. These fragile ephemera pieces show significant age-related wear including toning, edge chipping, and spotting, making them ideal for specialized collectors of East Asian history or vintage pedagogy. Suitable occasions include historical research, library curation, antique decor display, educational gift-giving, ephemera collecting, and academic study.
