Japanese text, photographic plates (with multiple images) including folding panorama, colour plate, folding colour map at end, a little browned and spotted, map slightly frayed and defective at lower inner corner, original yellow silk brocade with cords, a little rubbed at corners and spine, oblong Folio, [Fuji Publishing, Japan], [1923]. - A fine pictorial record of life on Sakhalin island and the events surrounding the Nikolyevsk Incident. After the Russo-Japanese War, the island of Sakhalin was partitioned between the two countries along the 50th parallel at the Treaty of Portsmouth. In 1920 several hundred Japanese were massacred by Bolsheviks at Nikolyevsk; in reprisal Japan occupied North Sakhalin, which in turn provoked protests by the Russian and the United States. The situation was not resolved until 1925, when the Japanese withdrew in exchange for petroleum concessions and the Russians apologised for the massacre.
