Weekly Asahi, November 10, 1978 Issue This is the November 10, 1978 (Showa 53) issue of Weekly Asahi (cover: Reiko Ohara, actress). The cover features a gravure spread of Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping (at the time) visiting Japan and meeting with Emperor Showa. In addition, there are many daring feature articles for a newspaper-affiliated weekly magazine, such as "Kansai Gang 'Human Trafficking' Southeast Asia Route" and "Former Hankyu Manager Ueda Talks About the Underworld of the Baseball World." The advertisements included also have a Showa-era feel and are enjoyable. As this is an old magazine from over 40 years ago, there is some age-related deterioration such as cover scratches, tears, and stains, but there are no problems with reading it. Those who are looking for a pristine item or are particular about the condition of the product should refrain from purchasing.
