This is the most important Japanese language book for collectors as this is an official account of the first ascent of an 8000m peak. After WW2, all the major belligerents burst out of their gates and headed for the Himalaya and Karakoram. In ten years all the 8000, peaks except Shishapangma were climbed. The Japanese had their heart set on Manaslu, and in 4 years, 1952-1956, they sent 4 expeditions to climb Manaslu.
