[Rarebooks] FS: Conscription in Japan in 1921

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Ogawa, Gotaro. CONSCRIPTION SYSTEM IN JAPAN.

New York; Oxford University Press: 1921.

Conscription started in modern Japan in 1873, and this study traces its 
history and effects from that time through the Satsuma Rebellion and the 
Sino- and Russo-Japanese wars, to the end of World War One. The bulk of the 
book is concerned with the economic effects of conscription; new fields for 
Japanese study were opened with pioneering work on the question of what 
social classes soldiers came from and what the effects conscription had 
upon commercial employment in Japan. Published with the help of the 
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Although Ogawa is credited as 
author, the actual data collection, analysis and the bulk of the writing 
was done by Y. Tanaka under Ogawa's supervision. Ogawa was a professor of 
Finance at the University of Kyoto and also wrote "Expenditures of the 
Russo-Japanese War".

Hardcover. 7"x10", 245 pages, original grey boards and blue cloth; light 
wear, a little soil. [06386] $50.00
