Description

Okinawa's Nature; World of Shellfish (Title translated from Japanese)

by S. Shirai

No ISBN, The book was published in 2003 by Nova Tosho as number 10 in the Color Encyclopedia series. The book is in Japanese. It is a trade paperback with folded inner flaps, The size is 7 by 10 inches, (25.7 by 18.3 cm.) and it contains 128 pages. The book is fully illustrated with color photographs of various sizes on every page.

Explore a distinctive study of mollusks and their cultural significance in art, adornment, tools, and weapons across diverse global traditions. This book, tailored for Japanese readers with scientific names included, features high-quality photography. It's a rare find, with minimal shelf wear, and includes a curious penciled note in English on the last page, possibly an address from Okinawa. Several books of this type are in English, but each of them differs in what is included in the book. This one is unlike any other I've seen and it covers many aspects of Conchology and Ethnocochology not included in other books of this kind.
