1940216804Japan. Circa 1940. Colour folding game sheet 36.5 x 26cm 10 wooden playing pieces each with embossed images in beige and blue complete original box 15.5 x 7.6 x 2.3cm considerably worn and soiled and corners reinforced the game itself is in very good bright condition. This is a two-player board game where air planes and war ships fight against each other. Fascinatingly the game sheet illustration shows the battle ground is in the Pacific where islands with palm tree are dotted. Consequently the game might be produced at the early stage of the Pacific War. The players attack each other after starting from a naval base and an air base. There are two islands each where they are safely protected from their enemies. The playing pieces are made out of paper with embossed images of war ships and air planes in beige air power and blue sea power colours. . unknown

1940224121Shanghai.: 上海裝鏡工業第二联營所. Shanghai jinggongye di'er lianyingsuo. Circa1940s - 1950s. Mirror with attached coloured image on paper under glass on reverse 10.5 x 15cm metal handle 15.5 x 17.5cm. Mirror a little stained and clouded at edges image browned at edges hanger rusty but still very functional. An interesting piece of 1950s propaganda. This portable travel mirror is a useful and decorative example of the sort of mass produced consumer items made in the early 1950s in small local workshops that were organised into collectives. Travel mirrors could be hung up or propped up for use by a moveable handle. On the reverse is a colour socialist-realist illustration of a red flag-draped locomotive a symbol of modern progress patriotism and peace. The colourful image of the train with its 天平商标 logo could be displayed when not in use or replaced with a photo with the mirror behind it. <br> <br>In 1952 when China built its first domestically designed locomotive it was called the "Peace" series which we see written on the front of this engine with the image of a dove. China's involvement in the Korean War to 'resist US aggression and assist Korea' depended on strong logistical supply lines to the front. Trains therefore became symbolic of national unity strength and China's ability to protect regional peace. Many such travel mirrors were bought as gifts and given as morale boosting items to the Chinese troops who could insert family photographs under glass on the backs of their travel mirrors. . 上海裝鏡工業第二联營所.

1951218840Japan. 1951. Eight black and white photographs 20.5 x 25.5cm each captioned in Japanese the handmade album is titled and dated in ink 23.5 x 32.8cm 9pp cord ties. One photograph has been removed card leaves and covers are browned surface of upper cover abraded in places some other minor wear but the photographs are in very good condition. A private album containing eight high-quality large-format photographs showing US forces being welcomed to the northern Japanese city of Muroran Hokkaido on 25 April 1951 - at the height of the Korean War. The first two photos show the US forces being welcomed by a local brass band. There is then a shot of US officers and Japanese officials standing under a large sign saying "Welcome Thunderbirds - Muroran City" indicating that the troops being welcomed are from the 45th Infantry Division nicknamed the Thunderbirds one of two US Army National Guard units engaged in the Korean War and recruited largely from the state of Oklahoma. <br> <br>The 45th Infantry Division received their initial training for combat in Korea in the US itself in 1950 and then sailed from New Orleans to Japan in early 1951 arriving at the ports of Otaru and Muroran in Hokkaido April of that year. From there they were sent for further training at Camp Crawford a US military base on the outskirts of the city of Sapporo and at a newly created camp south of Chitose before being transfered to Korea in December 1951. The album also contains two photos of the ships "General C.G. Morton" and "General William Weigel" which were built during World War II and used as a troop transport ship during the Korean War and were presumably among the ships which brought the 45th Infantry Division to Japan. Other images show local officials explaining the geography of the region to US officers as they peruse a large map and a Japanese woman beign presented with a badge by an American officer. <br> <br>Muroran was one of many Japanese ports whose life was transformed by the mass arrival of UN mostly American forces during the Korean War although the town's role in the war is less well documented than the roles of ports like Yokohama Kobe and Sasebo. These pictures give a vivid impression of the Korean war journeys of US troops and of Hokkaido during the Korean War. . unknown

1904216054東京. Tokyo.: 東京日日新聞. Tōkyō Nichinichi Shinbun. Meiji 37 1904. Folding black and white bird's-eye view map 39 x 55cm a little worming. Good copy. This map of the Russo-Japanese War was published on 7 June 1904 by Tokyo Nichinichi Shinbun. The map featuring geographical elements is notably distorted to include Japan Korea China and distant Russia. Place names are visible in various locations and Japan appears disproportionately large in comparison with other regions. Around the time of publication the seizure of Port Arthur was underway depicted with numerous warships positioned outside the port. Distances from Port Arthur to other major cities as well as sea distances from Nagasaki to various locations are listed at the lower edge of the map. . 東京日日新聞. [Tōkyō Nichinichi Shinbun]. unknown
223691Henan. Colour manuscript map of Korea made in Puyang Middle School in 1954 109 x 78cm text in traditional Chinese characters the map which was originally folded has been laid down on heavy gauge paper. Chipped in a number of areas at folds some recent colouring has modified the impact of this loss. While showing signs of use this map is an interesting example of classroom teaching material relating to Korea in 1950s China. The map depicts the principal geographical areas of Korea Japan and the People’s Republic of China. The 38th parallel is clearly marked along with a number of important Korean cities including Hanseong Seoul Kaesong Busan Jinju Incheon and Pyongyang here written as 平垠. Korea is labelled as Chaoxian 朝鮮 the term commonly used in China at the time. <br> <br>Taken together with the naïve style of calligraphy and the note that it was produced at a middle school Puyang Zhongxue 濮陽中學 in Henan Province shortly after the Korean War it is likely that the map was made by a student possibly named Guo Renwen 郭人文 whose name appears at the lower right. The faint yellow numbers 1–5 painted on the map may refer to a legend or explanatory key that is no longer present. . unknown
