Japan

The Japanese guitar journal “Revista de la Guitarra” or “ギター専門誌　ギタルラ” was published from perhaps 1947 to at least 1959.

As detailed in one of my earlier blog entries, Jiro Nakano was not only a long time collector, but was a tremendous cataloger of all information related to the guitar and mandolin. He wrote many articles over a very long period of time and contributed many long lists of composers and compositions to various guitar journals in Japan.

Takei Morishige’s journal “Material for the Study of Mandolin and Guitar”「マンドリンとギター研究資料」was published from January 1942 to November 1943.
