A wonderful visit.<br /><br />Our Japanese Masonic Brethren seem to be very cautious and careful about what they consider as being factual/relevant books about Freemasonry. Check out FAQ section of their Grand Lodge Website and hit the reading Tab for more on this.<br /><br />"Masonry in Japan:The First One Hundred Years,1866 to 1966, by Nohea O. A Peck, is the only book mentioned as having legitimacy regarding Japanese Masonry on their Grand Lodge Website. It can be purchased on Amazon and is reviewed favourably by a PGM of Japan. Unfortunately, it is only available in English. <br /><br />Finally, there is a Kindle Edition (written in the Japanese language) of "History of Masonry in Yokohama", by Dumbale Tell-Kaz. It may or may not be good. It, also, is available on Amazon. <br /><br />Documented Japanese Freemasonry started around 1862 under Irish Constitution. Sometime during 1866, English Constitution took over Japanese Masonry, beginning with, Yokohama, Japan.<br /><br />So the Kindle Edition may be your only option.😀<br />Thomas Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496528868148315705noreply@blogger.com
