[USED] Folklore of the Sea

This is "Folklore of the Sea" (1954) by folklorist Shigeru Makita. *This book is listed as having been published on December 20, 1966.

The cover and body have some stains and fading, and there is a library stamp and a pencil note that reads "bird," but the black-and-white photo page at the beginning and the main text are in good condition for an item of this age. However, please understand that this is a used item before purchasing.

Shigeru Makita, a student of Kunio Yanagita and a journalist for the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, describes this book as "written by a folklore fan who is now a newspaper journalist," but it is a very interesting book that describes Japanese customs related to the sea and ships from the reader's perspective (Ammel).
