A printed reproduction of the book was offered as a commemorative present to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2014, during the official visit to Japan of Didier Burkhalter, the president of the Swiss confederation on the occasion of the 150 year anniversary of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Japan.

The document is a reproduction of the original treaty and includes a beautifully illustrated scroll depicting the Sado Island gold mines, special congratulatory messages by the Ambassadors of both countries and background information regarding the treaty and the beginnings of the Swiss-Japanese ties. The treaty marked the start of fruitful commercial relations and a long-lasting friendship between Switzerland and Japan.”
