by WOODBLOCK, Japanese
N.p.: [1870-71].
In fine condition; an early Meiji-period woodblock bearing the text of the translation of Smiles’s celebrated Victorian book by Nakamura Keiju (pen name for Nakamura Masanao). Nakamura (1832-91) chaperoned a group of Japanese students who were sent in 1866 to study in Great Britain. When he returned to Japan several years later, he translated Self-Help and Mills’s On Liberty into Japanese. Nakamura also founded a Western-style school called Dōjinsha in Tokyo, through which he promoted the education of women and blind children. The school’s name is found on the reverse of our woodblock, which has been re-purposed to print (truncated)
