Ishikawa, Ryohei:
The Forerunner Foreign Post Offices in Japan, British - U.S.- French, Tokyo, Japan Philatelic Publications, Inc, printed by Kyodo Insatsu, 1976, large 8vo (7 1/4 x 9 in), red covers with gilt titles on front cover and spine, no dust jacket, numerous illustrations (most in color), 164 pp. The book is primarily in Japanese but the key illustrations have English descriptive titles. Accompanying the book is an 11 page English language pamphlet that discusses the early foreign post offices in Japan. The book presents philatelic material (covers and stamps) from Ishikawa's award winning philatelic collection of foreign mail and post offices (British, United States and France) operating in Japan from the 1860s through the 1880s. Numerous covers (franked envelopes) and canceled stamps are presented in color with descriptive titles. A key reference for this very rare material. The first cover pictured in the book is an official (Public Business) cover from Commodore Perry aboard the Susquehanna with a letter dated May 23, 1853. This letter would have been written while Perry was en route to Okinawa (arriving May 26) from China.

Pacific Crossings from Japan, 1858-79, I.S.J.P Monograph 3, International Society for Japanese Philately, reprinted from Japanese Philately, Volume 24, No. 6 (Part 2, Pages 1-32), December 1969, stapled wraps, 31 pp. This monograph is a gold mine of information on ships going from Japan across the Pacific to the US. An invaluable philatelic history resource regarding mail out of Japan from 1859-1879. The majority of mail processed through the American mail system established in Japan only bears cancels indicating month and day - no year. This monograph compiles the various Pacific crossings from Japan to the US during this 20 year period. Ship names, ports of departure, dates of departure and date of arrival in San Francisco are provided. Generally these early outbound covers from Japan to (or via) America will carry some marking indicating the ship that carried that mail. With this resource and minimum amount of additional information found on the letter (cover) it is often possible to date mail during this period. The first ship listed is the Brig Krell which sailed from Hakoodate on September 22, 1858 and the last ship is SS Belgic that departed Yokohama on December 30, 1879.

The Roman Letter Postmarks of Japan, I.S.J.P Monograph 7, (Japanese Philately, Vol 34: No 1), Silver Spring, MD, The International Society for Japanese Philately, Inc, February 1979, 4to, paper wraps stable bound, 114 pp. A comprehensive catalogue/study of English language (roman-letter) cancels used in the Japanese postal system. The cancels are categorized by date, type, office and color. The cancels cover the period from 1875 forward. Where known, the earliest and latest use of the cancel are reported. In the very early cancels this information is not actually on the cancel so the information is critical for dating stamps and covers with these cancels. Cancels used in China, Taiwan (Formosa) and Korea are listed as well as the various prefectures of Japan to include Okinawa. Values or scarcity rating are not assigned in the listings.
