ORIGINAL PRE-1945 JAPANESE EDITION OF ADOLF HITLER’S ‘MEIN KAMPF’
TRANSLATED FROM THE ENGLISH VERSION RATHER THAN THE GERMAN ORIGINAL
This is a seldom seen original copy of the Japanese edition of Adolf Hitler’s bestseller ‘Mein Kampf‘, translated by TAKAJISAKAI. This is another Japanese edition of Mein Kampf, but it is a translation of the English version rather than the original German. One of the notable features of this edition is that its binding closely resembles that of the regular German edition, using the same portrait of the Führer as the German version. However, the top of the cover is marked with the title Mein Kampf written in Japanese hiragana, which makes it quite distinctive. The book contains the text in English on one side and the Japanese translation on the facing page.
Mein Kampf was translated into numerous languages and since Japan was Hitler-Germany’s ally, it was only natural that a Japanese edition would be published. Very few of the surviving Japanese editions have ever left Japan and come up for sale or have even survived at all.
