SOUTH MANCHURIA RAILWAY

1933réf. 73809New York: The South Manchuria Railway Company 1933. A promotional piece extolling "The Progress of Manchuria" following the establishment of Manchukuo a puppet state of the Empire of Japan in northeast China and Inner Mongolia produced in conjunction with the 1933 Century of Progress International Exposition at Chicago. Established in 1906 the Japanese-owned and operated South Manchuria Railway Company or Mantetsu for short was charged with a government-like role in managing the rail transportation and urban planning after the Japanese invasion in 1931. "It is conceded by all that the rapid industrial agricultural and educational development of Manchuria during the past 28 years is chiefly due to Japanese investments and the enterprise of her industrialists and skilled technicians. In all this important work the South Manchuria Railway Company has taken the lead and it is largely through the foresight confidence and intelligence of the administration of this great artery of commerce that has made Manchuria a prosperous and peaceful land for the past twenty years. This explains why the great migration of nearly 8000000 to Manchuria took place in the last few years. Here they found a land of peace and plenty until the war lords taxed and exploited them to the limit so they declared their independence as did the Americans in 1776." This folding brochure opens to a railway map of the region which shows four sections under construction. There are also 12 photographic images highlighting Manchuria's historic sights modern infrastructure and abundant resources. Printed in color on a 12" x 18" sheet of white paper that folds to 4" x 9" 12 panels. A fine fresh example with just a hint of edgewear.

Japanese Military Execution in Occupied Manchuria after Manchukuo: Blindfolded Chinese Prisoners and Field Execution

1940réf. 234221940. Chinese prisoner execution photo archive from Japanese-occupied Manchuria circa 1940s recording the custody restraint killing and aftermath of Chinese prisoners under Japanese military control. Japan's occupation of Manchuria followed the Mukden Incident of September 18 1931 when Japanese forces used an explosion along the South Manchurian Railway as the pretext for military conquest; in 1932 Japan established Manchukuo a puppet state that drew international condemnation through the League of Nations' Lytton Commission. By the 1940s Manchuria remained a central zone of Japanese military power in northeast China where occupation authority puppet-state policing and anti-guerrilla campaigns produced summary punishments prisoner shootings and public terror against local Chinese populations. Photo archive of 7 silver gelatin photographs each 4" x 6.5" Manchuria circa 1940s. Japanese soldiers in field uniforms and peaked caps surround blindfolded Chinese captives seated in open ground near an earthen bank; in one scene soldiers level rifles toward bound or blindfolded prisoners at close range. Several men lie face down or on their sides at the base of the embankment with soldiers and civilian onlookers standing above them; plain wooden boxes or planks sit nearby suggesting prepared burial or removal. Another scene records a prisoner being physically restrained in a courtyard or village setting with tiled rooflines uniformed soldiers and civilian men crowded around him. The sequence moves between armed custody execution ground bodies on the earth and prisoner handling under guard giving the group a direct evidentiary relationship to Japanese military violence in occupied Manchuria. Manchuria was not a peripheral theater in Japan's war in China; it was the region where the Kwantung Army transformed a railway-security pretext into territorial occupation state building under Manchukuo and a long-running military presence that helped bring international crisis in the 1930s and full-scale war in Asia. The scenes preserved here are not battlefront combat views but close-range records of prisoners controlled by armed soldiers making the archive especially significant for the study of occupation violence Japanese military practice wartime China and the fate of Chinese civilians or irregular fighters labeled enemies under Japanese authority. Light edge wear and minor fading to some areas; images remain primarily clean; overall very good condition. The archive preserves a compact but stark record of military force in Japanese-occupied Manchuria grounded in the physical proximity between guards prisoners rifles and bodies. unknown

[MANCHURIA - JAPANESE ARMY SERGEANT'S DISTURBING PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM].Biblio.com

Disturbing but Historically Significant Japanese Sergeant's WWII Photograph Album.

1940réf. 220264Circa1940s. Photographic album with eighty mounted black and white photographic illustrations of varying sizes a further four photographs loosely inserted. Unpaginated. Some with captions some with handwritten descriptions on the verso. 25 x 17cm. Faux leather blind stamped decorative binding a little worn on the edges the rear gutter has been neatly strengthened. Good condition. A strange and very disturbing but historically significant album of photos taken by a Japanese man before and during the Asia-Pacific War. Some photos have been removed from the album but those remaining include family images and school photos taken at the 80th anniversary of Takefumi Higashi Junior School in Echizen City Fukui Prefecture Japan in 1951. A set of five photos stamped with the mark of "E. Tsukio" and the place name Takefumi Higashi show the aftermath of an exceptionally heavy snowfall. The photographs in this album seems to be associated with a family surnamed Hiroba as a number have handwritten notations on the back bearing the names of various individuals with that surname. The album includes a set of commercially produced photographs of the aftermath of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake including grim images of piles of bodies of earthquake victims. These are annotated as having been a present from a man named Hiroba Shigenobu. A photo at the rear of the album shows a photo of a Japanese army officer with sword and medals and is annotated "Hiroba Shigeharu 6 October 1940 on the eve of the third expedition to Manchuria given by Takeda Fumio". Next to this is a set of commercially produced photographs of Port Arthur focusing on the monuments to the 1905 Japanese victory there in the Russo-Japanese War. These monuments were a popular tourist attraction for Japanese people visiting Manchuria before or during the Asia-Pacific War. There are also numerous original photos taken in Harbin and the surrounding area mostly in March and April 1941. These include pictures of the streetscape of Harbin and local people participating in an ice festival on the river but also of Japanese military actions in the area - setting up an observation post transporting goods by horse-cart etc. One photo shows the range of cigarette brands available for sale in wartime Harbin. Four photos show a ceremony celebrating the establishment of the "Shimizu Unit no. 24" in Northeast China. The celebrations included a sumo wrestling competition and a party where Japanese troops were entertained by Chinese "beautiful geisha" raising the disturbing spectre of the recruitment of "comfort women" by the wartime Japanese military. More shocking still are nine photos of beheadings and other acts of extreme violence being perpetrated on people during the war in China. The precise locations of these scenes are unclear. Some of the photos appear to have been commercially produced as they contain title inscriptions in within the print but others may be original. One titled photo shows "the heads of bandits being transported by train". A haunting reminder both the horrors of war and of the way in which these can be interwoven into apparently normal family lives. . hardcover
