''On Short Leave To Japan'' is a travelogue written by George John Younghusband, first published in 1894. The book details the author’s journey to Japan during a brief leave from his military duties in India. Younghusband provides a vivid description of his experiences in Japan, including his observations on the culture, customs, and traditions of the Japanese people. He also shares his insights on the country’s history, art, and architecture. The book is notable for its beautiful prose and the author’s ability to capture the essence of Japan during a time of great change and modernization. Overall, ''On Short Leave To Japan'' is a fascinating account of one man’s journey to a country that was still relatively unknown to the Western world at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
