Description: A magnificent and rare mega-lot of 29 original Japanese "Showa Retro" notebooks and activity books from the 1970s and 1980s. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a complete "New Old Stock" (Deadstock) collection from a bygone era of Japanese pop culture. All items are manufactured by Japan's leading vintage stationery brands, Showa Note and Seika Note. Highlights of this 29-piece lot: Legendary Heroes: Includes multiple notebooks featuring Ultraman, Cyborg 009 (by Shotaro Ishinomori), Rainbowman, and other iconic characters from Japanese TV and Manga. Educational & Creative: A large selection of the "Sho-chan's Play Classroom" (Sho-chan no Oasobi Kyoushitsu) series, featuring interactive covers with DIY paper crafts and games. Graphic Design: Each cover is a beautiful example of Mid-Century Japanese graphic design, with vibrant colors and classic illustrations. Condition: Unused / Deadstock: These were found in storage and have never been used. State: Considering they are 40-50 years old, they are in excellent vintage condition. Some pieces may show very minor shelf wear or slight natural yellowing, which adds to their authentic vintage charm. Collector's Note: This large set is perfect for collectors of vintage stationery, Japanese anime/Tokusatsu history, or as a unique display piece for a retro-themed interior.
