Sensational vintage program from the 1956 baseball tour in the Land of the Rising Sun. This is the first incarnation of a Japanese Dodger program that we have ever seen from this famous event. The 50-page book (measuring approximately 5x7" when closed) is remarkably well preserved, in NRMT condition, save for some light spotting on the covers. All print is in Japanese, and the "Brooklyn Bum" character on the cover has been rendered with "Japanese" attributes. Displays the immortal phrase, "1955 World Champions." The matching circular baseball tag, imprinted with Dodgers team logo and "Good Will Tour of Japan" on both sides measures 5" in diameter and is also NM-MT.
