| Japanese Show Books
The photo book for the 1980 All Japan Show arrived in my mailbox today. Mostly in Japanese characters, but some English appears in places. Over 300 pages of color photography and detailed records of every winner in all sizes and varieties. It joins the 1990 edition on my bookshelf. It tells so much about the hobby in Japan that such works could be published as hardback books. I do not believe AKCA or any club in the U.S. could do such a thing without going broke. Nobody would attempt it. Also interesting to see the changes in styles over the decade. Now I need to find the 2000 edition. |
