JAPAN WORLD WAR II PROPAGANDA Manning FE. mapmaker. F. E.
Target Tokyo. Newsmap for the Armed Forces. Monday October 18 1943. 214th Week of the War - 96th Week of U.S. Participation.
Washington D.C.: Army Air Forces. 10-18- 1943. Color poster / map 47 x 35 1/2 inches 120 x 90 cm folding as issued now professionally mounted on linen backing. Wear and a little paper loss along the fold lines has been infilled light toning to lower centrefold; the poster presents very well with bright color. Stunning image of a hemispherical view with Japan at the centre encompassing the area from Iran in the west Australia in the south and as far as the west coast of the U.S. at the east of the map. The map maker is F.E. Manning one of the distinguished news illustrators of the war in a style very similar to that of Richard Edes Harrison. There is a scale along the lower edge which was intended to be clipped and used to measure distances of places on the map from Tokyo. Text reads: "This map is a photographic view of the world with the center at Tokyo. Thus with the detachable scale distances can be measured along any line running thru Tokyo. It should be noted that an inch at the center represents less mileage than an inch closer to the edges. The detachable scale has been designed to compensate for this and should be used only with the center at Tokyo. The photographic process used in making this map makes all distances measured with the tape approximate only. Distances are shown in statute miles. Lines between key cities do not represent regular air routes in all cases. They show distances between points that do not fall on a line going thru the center of the projection." The Newsmap posters were displayed in offices and factories to keep the American public updated with news of the war and to encourage their participation in the winning of it. .

Japan Honshu
PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM OF 116 PROFESSIONAL IMAGES MOSTLY FROM MIE-KEN CIRCA 1895-1925 DURING THE MEIJI AND TAISHO PERIODS
1925. Original photograph album. Very Good. Oblong string-tied album of black cardstock leaves 11" x 13" photographs mounted on 35pp blanks at the rear. Bound in black flexible boards with an embossed sailing ship and gilt lettering Photo-Album on the cover. Pasted in are 116 albumen and silver gelatin prints ranging from small candids to 8 ½" x 10 ½" group portraits a few fading overall sharp and clean. Laid into the album are a Japanese news article a small head-shot of an older gentleman and a watercolor portrait 10" x 8 ¼" of a man's face. Most of the photographs in this album. circa 1895-1925 were taken in Mie-Ken or "Mie prefecture" part of the Kansai region on the main island of Honshu. The group and individual portraits reflect new social and economic developments and cultural norms that emerged during this period. Subjects are shown in either traditional Japanese garments or in Western dress. Group shots often depict people wearing both styles within the same picture. There are many group shots of schoolchildren of both sexes young people in uniforms posed before buildings with Japanese signs on them as well as many formal group shots of families some "nuclear"-husband wife children- others extended by relatives. Individual shots of young children show them almost invariably in western dress one posed with his tricycle young boys in uniform a young girl in kimono showing a dance move while holding a fan infants in traditional robes and young men in business suits. Several birdseye views feature very large groups of rural people in traditional dress posed outdoors. Among the most striking photographs are: one 8 ½" x 10 ½" showing 11 doctors/ medical students posed around two corpses one smiling happily being dissected on two tables; four women and one man posed around a table doing handwork weaving tatting; men in western dress "strap-holding" inside a streetcar; and 5 actors 2 male 3 female on stage in costume. ~~ The Meiji period 1868-1912 saw the restoration of the Emperor this time with a centralized bureaucracy behind him after years of shogun rule. Japan was under heavy influence from Western political economic and educational models and the country became more capitalist industrial and progressively democratic offering free education to youngsters of both genders. Transportation and communications systems were modernized the feudal lords and samurai lost their power and a powerful national army and navy were created. By the early 1870s the government declared all classes of people to be equal. The Taishu period 1912-26 saw the continued influence of Western culture and values such as efficiency and individualism continued to replace more traditional ones. Japanese participation on the world stage continued to grow as the nation co-founded the League of Nations and emerged on the winning side in WWI. By 1925 there was universal male suffrage in Japan. Corruption in government increased however and the West began to form negative views of this newly-powerful non-white nation exacerbated by Japan's poor treatment of China. <br/><br/> hardcover books

JAPAN PHOTO
Original 1880s Photograph of The Festival of Lanterns at Yokohama
Original 19th Century Hand colored photograph of the Festival of Lanterns at Yokohama Japan. The photograph measures 8"x10" and is matted to 10-1/2"x13". Lower right hand corner label reads "A 264 Festival Lanterns at Bentendori Yokohama." Festival lanterns cheer up the business district of Bentendori 2-chome and 3-chome in Yokohama. During the Meiji Period this was Yokohama's premier shopping street. Foreign visitors came here to buy porcelain curios ivory silk and photographs. The photographer of this very image Kimbei Kusakabe actually had a studio on this street between 1881 and 1889. Unfortunately the exotic amalgamation of Japan and the Western world that existed on Bentendori was forever destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Photographs such as this are all that is left of a bygone era. In very good condition. unknown books

Approximately 430 presumably amateur silver gelatin photographs 6.5†x 5†and smaller and a couple of real photo postcards housed in three commercial albums oblong or vertical quartos measuring about 11 inches by 8 inches. The compiler is unknown but quite possibly “Takamasa†first name or his descendants. His photograph is the first image in the album we have identified as album A. The photos are dated as early as 1909 and as late as 1954 with most from the mid twenties to late thirties. Many of the images include manuscript and occasionally rubber-stamped or printed annotations in Japanese on the versos. An eight page English translation accompanies the archive. <br/><br/>An impressive archive documenting life in Japan between the wars. Particularly interesting are several images depicting a banquet with Geisha and other events at a convention of the Japan Brewing Equipment Merchant’s Association in November 1926. Other images depict the building of the Sankyo Corporation on the day of the Great Kanto Earthquake scenes along the Tama River in Western Tokyo and various views of Temples Shrines Hot Springs etc. The accompanying translation is categorized by album A B & C with photos identified by numbers which correspond to added post-it slips. In addition to providing versions in English of the annotations the photos are described as to place etc. when known unknown books

Japan - Kōyasan
'The Replica of the Nestorian Monument at KÅyasan Japan'
Very Good. An unusual scarce-subject Japanese photographic postcard linking KÅyasan to early Christianity in East Asia. Black-and-white collotype; English caption printed in the image margin: 'The Replica of the Nestorian Monument KÅyasan Japan.' Unposted.<br /> <br /> This postcard documents the replica of the Nestorian Monument erected at Mount KÅya commemorating the presence of early Christian Nestorian influence in East Asia. The original Nestorian Stele discovered in Xi'an in 1625 records the arrival of Christianity in Tang-dynasty China in the 7th century. Its replication at KÅyasan reflects early modern Japanese scholarly and religious interest in pre-Buddhist and non-Buddhist religious exchange.<br /> <br /> The card presents with clean margins and strong image contrast; no postal markings. Minor age toning consistent with period production. The subject stands apart from conventional shrine or temple views combining religious history archaeology and Christian studies within a Japanese context. Cards depicting the Nestorian Monument at KÅyasan are consistently sought by collectors of early Christianity in Asia Japanese religious history and comparative religion and are best handled as individual offerings rather than grouped architectural lots.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Nestorian Christianity in Asia; early Christianity in Japan; KÅyasan; cross-cultural religious exchange; Tang dynasty Christian history; religious monuments and replicas; East-West religious contactJapanese postcards; early photographic postcards; religious ephemera; historical documentation. unknown
