Titles listed only. All entries are short summaries; none prints the text. Page numbers are not printed on the page and are inferred (index gives 44 for the column heading); the index's own page numbers for the entries (46, 47) are inconsistent with the scan. Ordinance No. 20 heading partly obscured on the scan but legible.
This site gathers the verbatim texts of treaties, laws, speeches and other official documents printed in two
English-language periodicals published in wartime Japan: the Tokyo Gazette (1937–1942), a monthly digest
of government reports issued under the supervision of the Cabinet Information Bureau, and Contemporary Japan: A Review
of Far Eastern Affairs (issues of 1941–1945), published by the Foreign Affairs Association of Japan, whose
“Documentary Material” section reprinted official texts.
It also includes the “Texts of Treaties, Agreements, Notes and Statutes of the Powers Concerning Manchuria”
(1895–1932) printed as Supplement III of the Japan-Manchoukuo Year Book 1934 (the first of a section of texts from year books), and, from the two periodicals,
selected government programmes, reports, statistical articles, chronologies and profiles of public figures.
Only texts printed in full in the journals are included; commentary, summaries and articles about them are not.
The issues covered are those indexed on the Tokyo Gazette table of contents and
Contemporary Japan pages at Frog in a Well,
and scanned on the Internet Archive.
These are official translations and statements of the wartime Japanese state and its allies, and should be read as such.
Transcription. The texts were transcribed from the page scans by AI models (Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5 and, for the Japan Year Books, Claude Haiku 5.5;
the model used is named at the foot of each text) reading the page images, and have not been proofread by a person. Original spelling and romanisation are kept. Page numbers in the margin link to the page
of the scan on the Internet Archive: check the scan before quoting.
