This document is a vibrant and colorful printed material intended for the education and morale-boosting of children at the time. Product Details Production Date: 1935 (Showa 10). Characterized by powerful graphics from the transitional period leading up to war. Contents: Warrior illustrations depicting heroes and battles from Japanese history. Upper Left Illustration: A scene depicting a meeting on the beach or a departure ceremony. The large sunrise in the background symbolizes the nationalistic views of the time. Lower Right Illustration: A scene of fierce cavalry battle. The details of the armor and helmets, and the movement of the horses' muscles, are exquisitely depicted through a fusion of traditional relief style and modern color printing technology. Binding (Center Background): The cover features a design of a helmet, arrow, and cherry blossoms in silver (or soft tones), expressing the spirit of Bushido. While there is some wear on the corners and deterioration of the binding string due to age, this is proof of its authentic antique status. Historical and Documentary Value: Printing Technique: A valuable example of multi-color printing (lithography or offset printing) from the early Showa period. The deep colors, with a slight thickness characteristic of printing from that era, are particularly appealing. Educational and Cultural Resource: An extremely important folkloric and historical document for understanding the historical perspectives of children at that time. Artistic Value: While inheriting traditional Ukiyo-e techniques, it incorporates modern composition, making it a highly valuable "historical painting" with significant design value. Recommended Use: Collection: For collectors of pre-war documents and military/history-related paper materials. Display: When framed and displayed, it exudes an overwhelming presence as a Japanese modern interior or store decoration. Research Material: For research on the history of Japanese graphic design and pre-war publishing culture. 38*18*3cm 629g (J0793)
