This is an original Japanese historical photo book published in 1936 (Showa 11), revised second edition, titled. And the Sacred Battleship. The book was issued by the Mikasa Preservation Society, an organization established to preserve and commemorate Battleship Mikasa as a national historical symbol following the Russo-Japanese War. Battleship Mikasa was the flagship of Admiral Togo during the Battle of Tsushima (1905), one of the most decisive naval victories of the modern era. After the war, Mikasa became a symbolic relic of Japan’s emergence as a naval power, and preservation efforts were supported by naval officers, historians, and the public. This publication reflects how pre-war Japan officially remembered, documented, and revered naval history, particularly the figure of Admiral Togo and the legacy of Mikasa. Official portrait photographs of Admiral Togo Heihachiro. Photographic records of Battleship Mikasa (exterior and interior views). Images of naval officers and related historical figures. Textual accounts and interpretations of the Russo-Japanese War. Documentary-style photo layout typical of early Showa-era historical publications. This is not a modern reprint, but an original pre-war publication intended as a commemorative and educational historical record. About the Mikasa Preservation Society.
