No other similar examples on the market, the present is an official Imperial Japanese Military volume for the training of infantry in the run up to and during World War II.
Likely the property of an officer to be used in the effective training of the recruits, the thirteen separately issued and bound volumes are now housed in a single side-sewn sammelband. The volumes cover everything from maneuvers to rifle use, hand to hand combat, close-quarters battle, illustrations of appropriate firing positions, use of anti-aircraft artillery, etc., Extensively illustrated throughout.
All thirteen volumes textually complete and with their own wraps, then side sewn into a larger sammelband with covers. Textually very good.
