Description: Inaka, 7 vols of 18 Author: The Bell Goat (pseudonym of H. E. Daunt) Title: Inaka, 7 vols of 18 Publication: Kobe: Kobe Herald, 1915-1924 Description: 7 volumes, 8vo, issues no. 1, 5, 10, 13, 16-18; 212 plates in total, almost all being photo-reproductive images taken by members of the Mountain Goats, with a few illustrations and 3 maps; full original cloth in a variety of colors, gilt illustration of a mountain goat on upper cover of each; volume 5 with loose upper end paper and title leaf, lower spine of voume 17 partially perished, bookplate of a "Sebald" in volume 18; volume 17 inscribed by Daunt to "Mrs. Lange" on free endpaper; overall a very good set. An engaging serial produced for the benefit of the Ancient Order of Mountain Goats, an Alpine Club centered in Kobe Japan. While some images and articles are taken from previous publications, much of the material is provided by the membership, and includes reports of various treks and ascents, photographs (typically taken by Daunt, and J. G. S. Gausden), letters, diaries, witticisms and poetry, and regular digressions into the local golfing scene. Because the intended audience of the series was club members, many of the articles are pseudonymous. Inaka was discontinued after the 18th issue. It stands as a record of early organized mountaineering in Japan (The Alpine Club of Japan was established ten years before the first issue of Inaka was released), and individual issues are rare. Four US institutions have holdings of any issue, with no records showing completeness.
