[So i am still looking for that Bible given at the Yokohama Union Church to King Kalakaua, when he visited there in 1881. Check out these other articles found in The Friend]
And the other article referred to therein,
“Cast Thy Bread upon the Waters and Thou Shalt find it after Many Days.“

It seems that coincidentally, the Japanese translation of the New Testament was completed just the year before, in 1880.
Check out a copy on Google Books!
