Scrapbook created by B.C. and Jessie Binning to commemorate their first visit to Japan in 1958. Many notes that accompany the photographs describe how the trip transformed the direction of B.C.’s artistic and architectural works. The purpose of the trip was to study the art and artists of Japan in order to form a working relationship between one another; it specifically marked the beginning of a decade-long relationship with Bishop Kojo Sakamoto. The trip was partially sponsored by the Canada Council and the University of British Columbia.

Series consists of a voluminous amount of communication (approximately 270 letters) between both B.C. Binning and their friends and colleagues in Japan, predominantly Bishop Kojo Sakamoto, his family, and other friends and translators. The bulk of the communication occurs mostly around September 1966 onwards, when Sakamoto’s calligraphy was the focus of an exhibit at the University of British Columbia. Correspondence is presented in the form of letters, traditional scrolls, postcards, telegrams, notes, and a small amount of newspaper clippings.
Series is arranged chronologically by date, regardless of author. There are approximately eighteen correspondences that are undated that were all authored by Bishop and Kiyoko Sakamoto. These follow the dated correspondence.
