Fisher, George A., Jr.:
Early Japanese Postmarks & Post Offices, I.S.J.P Monograph 1, (Japanese Philately, Vol 20: No 2, Part 2) Washington, DC, The International Society for Japanese Philately, Inc, April 1965, 4to, paper wraps stable bound, 45 pp. Brief Series Forward by Robert M. Spaulding, Jr. An extensive illustrated study of Japanese cancels during the first "few months" the modern postal system was in operation. The modern Japanese postal system opened in April of 1871. This study focuses on the post offices up to 1872 with emphasis on those located on the Tokaido. An amazing accomplishment. The author presents over 1500 hand drawn facsimiles of Japanese postal cancels and provides the English name for the post office. After the illustrations there is a 9 page "Index of Early Japanese Post Offices" with a "Table of Date Conversions for 1871 and 1872."

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.

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.
