Abstract
The East Asian Library at Princeton contains a substantial collection of books, journals, photographs and ephemera related to the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. In this article I introduce the more ephemeral items, including government notifications, posters, maps and flyers. Amongst them are flyers concerning lost children, notices about free accommodation for pregnant woman and exhortations not to believe rumors. Many of these items have now been digitalized and they constitute a valuable research collection.
期刊介绍:
East Asian Publishing and Society is a journal dedicated to the study of the publishing of texts and images in East Asia, from the earliest times up to the present. The journal provides a platform for multi-disciplinary research by scholars addressing publishing practices in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam. East Asian Publishing and Society invites articles that treat any aspect of publishing history: production, distribution, and reception of manuscripts, imprints (books, periodicals, pamphlets, and single sheet prints), and electronic text. Studies of authorship and editing, the business of publishing, reading audiences and reading practices, libraries and book collection, the relationship between the state and publishing—to name just a few possible topics—are welcome.
