An indispensable chronicle of faith and organisation in early 20th-century Japan and Formosa, The Japan Christian Year-Book continues the Japan Mission Year Book as the thirtieth issue of the Christian Movement in Japan and Formosa (1932), issued by the Federation of Christian Missions in Japan. A vital record for researchers. Presented as a contemporary yearbook, it gathers mission society reports, institutional listings and statistical returns that together map the practices and networks of Protestant missions in Japan and traces of Christianity in Formosa. Readers encounter administrative minutes beside parish summaries, denominational directories beside missionary deployments - material that belongs as much to Christian missions history and interwar religious studies as it does to general cultural history. The tone is documentary but alive to the human labour behind every entry: clergy appointments, educational work, hospital and social outreach recorded in the language of the period.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. As a primary source, the volume rewards casual readers with textured glimpses of Japan religious movements, and rewards collectors and bibliophiles as a distinctive entry within any missionary yearbook collection or Christian reference anthology. Scholars and researchers of Asian Christianity will find the yearbook indispensable for mission society reports, denominational statistics and the sort of historical church records that underpin careful scholarship. For anyone curious about the organisation and reach of Protestant missions in Japan or the early presence of Christianity in Formosa, this is a compact, authoritative resource restored with care and respect. Beyond data and directories, the yearbook offers a distinct literary footprint: period prose, administrative candour and the unexpected local colour that make it prized by classic-literature collectors as well as historians. Its preservation deepens understanding of networks of faith, education and welfare that shaped communities across early 20th century Japan and Formosa.
