[Russo-Japanese War]: Mori, Keien, and R Nakagawa:ABAA

ãŠã¨ãŽã¯ãªã—ï¼šå¾éœ²å†ç”Ÿæ¡ƒå¤ªéƒŽ Otogi Hanashi: Seiro Saisei Momotaro = "Fairy Tale: The Rebirth of Russia-Fighting Momotaro". NURSERY TALES "LIVING AGAIN MOMOTARO" printed English wrapper title.

1905ref. 69050Tokyo. Meiji 38 i.e. 1905. Allegorical Russo-Japanese War Picture Book with America and Great Britain as Mother and Father of Japan A fascinating and exceedingly rare Japanese e-hon situating the classic myth of Momotaro in the context of the Russo-Japanese War with the United States and Great Britain depicted as the proud parents of heroic young Japan. The core tale of Momotaro describes an elderly couple who discover a large peach—to their surprise a boy who they name Momotaro lit. "Peach Boy" emerges. The couple raise him and soon discover that he possesses enormous strength and before long the boy sets off to pacify the vicious oni of the nearby island of Onigashima. Meeting friends in the form of a dog a monkey and a pheasant along the way Momotaro vanquishes his foe and brings back their riches which restore the health and fortunes of his adoptive parents. One of Japan's most enduring legends the character of Momotaro became increasingly tied in with the Japanese national self-image beginning in the 19th century. This delightfully illustrated version of the tale interestingly printed side-by-side with an original if not entirely accurate English translation was printed at the outset of the Russo-Japanese War. Researcher Nahoko Kahara describes its contents in her article on the Momotaro myth: "Since the Meiji period as Japan has engaged in foreign wars Momotaro has often been interpreted as a Japanese soldier. In 'Momotaro: The Revival of Russo-Japanese Warfare' 1904 published the year the Russo-Japanese War began the grandfather's name is "Eizo" for Eikoku i.e. England and the grandmother's name is "Oame." the "Ame" of "America". They are Westerners dressed in clothing featuring the British and American flags. Momotaro dressed in military uniform carries a bomb instead of millet dumplings and sets out to conquer the villainous 'Roske' Russia who bullies 'Oshina-chan' and 'Ocho-chan.'" After their home is attacked by the Russian devils Eizo and Oame are shown gleefully arming Momotaro with cannons rifles and blades. In the end the vanquished Russians beg Momotaro for forgiveness while his subordinates wave the Japanese flag and cry "Banzai!" Just as in the legend Momotaro returns to his old parents with the "precious things" given to him by the Russians and on the final page Oame and Eizo are depicted alongside their son with the flags of all three nations fly proudly in the background. While the war ended in victory for the Japanese they were appalled by the resulting peace treaty mediated by Theodore Roosevelt and the rosy view of "Mother America" put forth in this book quickly soured. The colophon states that this is apparently the fourth printing printed less than six months after the first though we locate no copy of any edition anywhere. Kahara's essay cites a later printing with the altered title "Momotaro: The Revival of Japan." A very rare and interesting piece of Japanese wartime publishing and intriguing evidence of Japanese attitudes towards America at the turn of the 20th century. Oblong booklet. Original illustrated wrappers string-tied. Rear wrapper lacking last leaf dampstained a few small closed tears faint tideline to upper edge throughout. Good.

[Japanese-Americana - World War Two - 442nd Infantry Regiment] Hamada, HarryABAA

‘Go For Broke’ / 442nd Combat Team Song

1944ref. List2436Hattiesburg: Earl M. Finch 1944. Sheet music measuring 12 x 9 inches 4 pp. Signature of a Nabuko Hayashida on front cover. Slight tears at fold some toning two small pinholes very good overall quite attractive. Very Good. In Hawaii in May 1942 a battalion of Nisei volunteers was assembled for service in World War Two despite earlier failures of efforts to recruit Japanese-Americans due to the Army’s labeling of Nisei recruits as 4-C enemy aliens. Designated as the 100th Infantry Battalion they were deployed to North Africa in June 1943 integrating with the 34th Division in active combat. Their subsequent deployment to Italy in September 1943 exposed them to intense warfare earning them the moniker of the "Purple Heart Battalion" due to their notably high casualty rate. In January 1943 the U.S. War Department officially declared the establishment of the segregated 442nd Regimental Combat Team RCT which was comprised of Nisei volunteers originating from Hawaii and the mainland. The culmination of this initiative transpired in June 1944 when the 442nd RCT merged forces with the 100th Infantry Battalion in Europe subsequently absorbing the latter into its structure. The notable achievements of Nisei soldiers in combat operations prompted the reinstatement of the draft in January 1944 specifically targeting Nisei detainees to augment the ranks of the 442nd. Over time the 442nd RCT expanded to encompass the 2nd 3rd and 100th Battalions; the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion; the 232nd Engineering Company; the 206th Army Band; Anti-Tank Company; Cannon Company; and Service Company. Offered here is a very scarce piece of sheet music entitled “Go For Broke” which was written by the Hawaiian musician Harry Hamada reflecting the slogan of the 442nd and performed by Shelby and others during the war as part of efforts to boost morale. Hamada would feature in the 1951 movie “Go For Broke” as Masami alongside several other veterans of the 442nd. This publication of “Go For Broke” is from 1944 seven years before the movie’s release. The piece is dedicated to Colonel C.W. Pence. Hamada was a Hawaiian musician who performed with a band called the Shelby Hawaiians or the Shelby Serenaders. They performed as early as 1943. The Hattiesburg Mississippi merchant Earl M. Finch who ran an Army and Navy store close to Camp Shelby befriended Hamada and other members of the 442nd and acted as a sponsor for the group and eventually published this version despite his business being a dry goods merchant house and not a publishing house. The group with the support of Finch performed throughout the country to lift morale. At some point Hamada penned this composition likely in 1944 as we find no reference to it in 1943 articles and Finch published it - Hamada’s composition would become the theme song of the 442nd and Hamada would perform at the Halloran General Hospital in New York and the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C. in 1944 likely performing this composition. Another composition called “Go For Broke” exists as well and it is unclear to what degree Hamada’s work caught on among the regiment. We find two records of Finch’s published version of the composition one listed as part of an online remembrance of the 442nd by the Smithsonian Institution https://americanhistory.si.edu/explore/stories/day-remembrance-70-years-after-executive-order-9066 which appears to have been on loan from the National Japanese American Historical Society and another copy held at Stanford though not listed in OCLC. Finch’s story is also interesting and is the subject of a remembrance on a 100th Battalion History page online https://www.100thbattalion.org/history/stories/earl-finch/. We find no copies listed in OCLC. Overall a very scarce piece of Japanese-American wartime history. Earl M. Finch unknown books
