1919Best.-Nr. 223772東京. Tokyo.: 實業之日本社. Jitsugyō no Nihonsha. Taisho 8 1919. Colourful folding sugoroku game sheet 54.7 × 78.6cm one panel on reverse soiled light even browning small holes at fold points professionally strengthened with washi very good condition. This sugoroku game from 1919 issued as a supplement in the New Year issue of Fujin Sekai Women's World provides a fascinating glimpse into the idealized life of an upper-middle-class woman during that era. The game narrates the journey from her wedding day to the creation of the ideal family highlighting the expected societal roles and duties of women. Starting with the wedding day the game swiftly transitions to the new wife's pregnancy. It follows her through various steps including ceremonial rituals performed by family members and preparation for the child's arrival. During her pregnancy the woman meets with a midwife and follows recommended activities like exercise reflecting some medical advice of the time. As the game progresses the new mother attempts to breastfeed her baby but due to insufficient milk a wet nurse is employed. The baby is then raised with the care of the family and a baby-sitter showing a collaborative nurturing environment. The game concludes with a scene of a contented family where the parents relax with their five children and some household staff symbolizing the idealized outcome of a woman's role in society. This sugoroku not only reflects the societal expectations and gender roles of the time but also offers a window into the medical and childcare practices that were considered important. The game is a blend of cultural norms and educational advice wrapped in an engaging visual narrative. . 實業之日本社. [Jitsugyō no Nihonsha]. unknown
