Illustrated with over 300 photographs, mainly taken by himself includes valuable photographs of Japanese imperial mausolea which are now closed to the general public, this book introduces, describes and evaluates his achievements, now highly regarded by Japanese archaeologists, and considers the fruits of his work."--BOOK JACKET.
