Olympic Games/ Summer, 1936-1940/ Berlin-Tokyo/ Mock-up edition. Exceptional and unique mock-up edition in its original state (pencil pagination, red grease pencil, glued lamp-ends, numbering of photos, introductions and text pages), but fortunately protected by a sumptuous, sturdy cloth binding, with red leather presentation badge and gold lettering (10x10): "Nippon auf der Olympiade Deutschland 1936".The volume that testifies in German to the transition between the organizing city (Berlin 1936) and the host city (Tokyo 1940). Size: 35.5 x 45 x 5cm The photo on page 2 is missing. The war rendered this relay obsolete, making this document all the more interesting. Here, in 113 photos, we salute the exploits and life of the Japanese delegation in Berlin, in the stadiums and swimming pools, as well as in the Olympic village. It's the kind of picture we've never seen before. The volume is double-paged, with a smaller-format German text (45 pages), and large illustrated pages (37)... It ends, of course, with the dazzling Japanese record in athletics, swimming and other sports (10 gold, 4 silver, 8 bronze), and a photo of the departure train, but before that, there are adventures on horseback, in soccer and basketball... Nothing is missing.Nothing is missing, and we discover that the Olympic stadium was right up there with the swimming pool, and that Nishida, Tajima and Son were the stars of this ambitious delegation, which promised much for 1940. Winter sports in Garmisch are not forgotten: the opening shot shows the superb Nipponese birdmen, with the Emperor on hand to cheer them on... The large photo of Fuhrer Hitler opening gift-wrapped packages with the Emperor of Japan is astonishing.The introduction is composed and ready for printing, running to seven pages and several calibrated columns, signed by Dr. Lewald, who presided over the organization of the 10th Games, and the President of the German-Japanese Friendship, who replied. The October 1937 set is impressive.

Estim. 160 - 200 EUR
