Binding is sewn cloth. White endpapers and pastedowns. Most photographs with a caption in the corner. Photographs measure 19 c.m. x 25.5 c.m. The photographs depict landscapes of Nagasaki, a statue of Buddha, temples, street life in Japan, Kioto, Tokyo, women playing instruments, clothing and porcelain shops, and so much more.

A few photographs may have had their red color touched up but it is difficult to tell.
