RARE ORIGINAL 1940 JAPANESE TRANSLATION OF HITLER’S ‘MEIN KAMPF’

USUALLY NEVER SURFACES OUTSIDE OF JAPAN

This is a 1940 reprint of the first Japanese translation of Mein Kampf published by Takaji Sakai in 1932. The publisher was the same as for the 1932 edition, Naigaisha. By the time the German side raised the issue of copyright, the 1932 edition had already gone out of print. This version was most likely produced after the copyright issue had been resolved. Unlike the earlier edition, it does not come with a box but instead has a dust jacket.

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.
