Japan - Postcard (18) - 1935-1942

This lot consists of a collection of vintage bromide photographs featuring Japanese actress 高山弘子 (Takayama Hiroko), dating from the pre-war Shōwa period (circa 1935–1942). The set includes approximately 18 portrait photographs, many depicting the actress in traditional kimono attire and studio settings typical of early Japanese cinema promotional materials. Several pieces bear handwritten signatures, adding collectible interest, though their authenticity cannot be confirmed. These photographs show clear signs of age, including staining, surface wear, creases, and some peeling, which are consistent with their historical nature. Despite the condition issues, they retain strong visual appeal and cultural value as early Japanese film memorabilia. This is a desirable lot for collectors of Japanese cinema history, vintage photography, or pre-war memorabilia. Method of Shipment FedEx or Japan Post NOTICE The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by FedEx or Japan Post. Delivery usually takes 1–2 weeks. Heavy items may be shipped by sea, which may take 1 to 2 months to arrive. The shipping method may vary depending on the item price and size. Sometimes Customs or the delivery company in your country may contact you by phone or email for clearance. Please make sure you are available to respond. If not, the parcel may be returned to me, and reshipping will cost more than twice the original shipping fee. I appreciate your cooperation.
