A fascinating survival from the Taishō Democracy, a period of liberal reform and political renewal in Japan lasting from 1912 until 1926, which ultimately culminated in a series of economic crises that plunged the nation into a severe depression.

These reports by the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce, the oldest economic organisation in Japan, contain key financial, economic, and demographic data on the city for the years 1912, 1921 and 1922 respectively, including population estimates, price indexes, import and export values, average wage figures, transactions on the Tokyo Stock Exchange etc., presented in a series of 63 tables per report. A vital resource for students of Japanese economic history.

First editions, 3 works; 8vo; 1912 report: 63 statistical tables, text in Japanese and English, library stamp to preliminary leaf, tipped-in presentation slip; later cloth backed brown boards preserving original upper card wrapper on upper board; [6], vi, 196, [6]pp; 1921 report: 63 statistical tables, text in Japanese and English, library stamp to preliminary leaf, tipped-in presentation slip; later cloth backed brown boards partially preserving original upper card wrapper on upper board; [6], vi, 203, [11]pp; 1922 report: 63 statistical tables, text in Japanese and English, tipped-in presentation slip, library stamp to title-page, bookbinder label to rear pastedown; original upper card wrapper bound in, later green half cloth and mottled boards by Hans Kügel; [6], vi, 207, [11]pp.
