- Notes:
- "Japanese Rugby Team Tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1962. This interesting and scarce brochure introduces the Yawata Rugby Football Club's tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1962. This copy may have belonged to a tour member as some itinerary notes are annotated. The Yawata Rugby team was founded in 1927 and was the Japanese champion team around the time of the tour with Miyai Kunio as the captain. The team was based in Yawata in Kyushu and all the players were employed by the Yawata Iron & Steel Company, one of the largest steel manufacturing company in Japan at that time. The tour took place between March and June 1962 and the team played games in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane, as well as in New Zealand. In Australia, they won 4 games of the 6 they played against the Australian teams. The brochure includes greetings from Princess Chichibu and the president of Yawata Iron & Steel Company indicating that the tour was officially sanctioned by Japanese authorities. The timing of the tour is interesting as Japan started to import iron ore from Australia around that time."--Publisher's catalogue.
