12 Masterpieces of Korean Arts with the Seal of the President of Korea.

A special copy, bearing the South Korean Presidential Seal, quite conceivably a unique one-off presentation copy from the Korean Government, of the photogravure portfolio, showcasing a select few of the exquisite Korean art works, which were jointly selected by a Korean-American committee and displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. exhibition "Masterpieces of Korean Arts" held from 15 December 1957 to 12 January 1958. Folio. Complete, with 12 full colour photogravures, each bordered with loosely placed captioned leaf, and contained in its own folding cardstock covers bearing the portfolio title to front and a detailed historical and physical description to interior. Folders open from left to right, suggesting that this work was printed in Korea. Text is in both Korean and English. Publisher's original cloth teal and gold patterned portfolio covers, with two intact bone clasps for secure closure, and gilt presidential seal to front. Photogravure leafs measure approximately 42,5 x 34 cm. Portfolio measures approximately 43 x 34,5 x 3,5 cm Mild age-toning and wear to boards with one cosmetic tear to cloth to interior of one flap, otherwise in very good and original condition, a most unusual variant of this beautiful work, and most likely a Presentation copy from the South Korean Government. The present item is quite rare in any state, but especially this one as it shows a gilt phoenix and flower (Rose of Sharon) emblem found on the presidential seal of South Korea. It is most likely a Presentation Copy from the Korean Government to America, as a memorial to their collaboration of hosting a superb exhibition of historic Korean Art. OCLC shows a few 'standard' editions in libraries. The status and authority of the President of South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea, is represented by a symbolic phoenix emblem. The virtues represented by the mythological bird are parallel to the values a king had to pursue in governing the people, and the design of phoenix was attached on the ceiling of the throne hall of Gyeongbokgung palace, which was the main palace during much of the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910). The design of the phoenix is still used today as the emblem that represents the office of the President of Korea. The exhibition "Masterpieces of Korean Art" was held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., from 15 December 1957 to 12 January 1958. A joint committee of Koreans and Americans selected 187 objects, with the aim of presenting a cross section of Korean art from 200 B.C. to about 1900.

Kamishibai Propaganda Play, Titled Gonin no Shoya, Containing Colour Illustrations to Depict Five Innovative Heroic Headmen.

Creator: Hiroshi Hirabayashi. Kamishibai propaganda play / Japanese picture show (kamishibai) illustrating the benefits and immense moral obligation of collaborating with one other for survival. Folio. The complete work, comprising 20 offset full-colour printed illustrative cards which together form a story to educate or indoctrinate the viewer with nationalist concepts during the Second World War, each with printed story text to verso, one of the cards being the title and publishing information. Text is in Japanese. Contained in publisher's original paper portfolio covers, with title label to front. Story cards measure approximately 38 x 26 cm. Portfolio covers measure approximately 39 x 27 x 1 cm. Some age-toning and wear to portfolio, otherwise in very good and original condition, cards retaining vivid impression, a fascinating and scarce Second World War propaganda presentation. Japanese wartime propaganda was distributed through films, magazines and newspapers, radio, books, cartoons and the education system. Publications such as the present illustrative stories, promoted the ideal citizen's nationalistic point of view, indoctrinating civilians to work collectively and in support of their government's actions, even when creating some form of imposition on the citizen himself. Kamishibai are Japanese paper plays that gained popularity among children in the 1930s and were subsequently used as a medium for propaganda during World War II. Also referred to as a "Picture Card Show," they were made for influencing youth with their engaging storylines and vivid imagery. In 1940, elementary schools were renamed "Citizen's Schools." Textbooks became vivid, engaging, and contained militaristic picture-books. During the course of World War II, the Japanese government attempted to indoctrinate Japanese children through education and propaganda. Both methods nationalized youth and encouraged them to support the war effort. Science curriculum, for example education taught children about agriculture so they could better assist in food production for the nation. Youth were expected to volunteer in factories and farms to replace the conscripted labor force. Additionally, "kokutai," meaning the uniqueness of the Japanese people in having a leader with spiritual origins, was officially promulgated by the government, including a text book distributed by the Ministry of Education. The purpose of this instruction was to ensure that every child regarded himself first of all as a Japanese and was grateful for the "family polity" structure of government, with its apex in the emperor. Indeed, little effort was made during the course of the war to explain to the Japanese people what it was fought for; instead, it was presented as a chance to rally about the emperor. This is a dramatic story of collaboration and innovation, its ultimate message being that these virtues are necessary for survival of a society and the individual. Sustenance being the key to survival, the story unfolds as follows. A village in Western Japan suffering a long arid season which led to drought, was unable to support vegetation and was seeing abandonment as many farmers left the region. Evidently this was a large village, having five shoya (village headman), and the latter devised an irrigation plan to restore its agriculture and ultimately preserve the village. In order to instill the urgency of success with the undertaking, the local bugyo (governor) approved the project under the alarming condition that if the project failed, the five headmen who also owned estates in the region, would be burnt alive at the stake. He had five hanging platforms erected in preparation of failure, and also to motivate them to accomplish the task lest they meet a gruesome public fate. Villagers supported the idea and all hands worked diligently to ensure its success. Indeed, working together with a common goal was the key. The water flowed abundantly. The village was saved, and so were the lives of the five headmen. The hanging platforms were set ablaze (without victims) in celebration.

Kamishibai Propaganda Play, Titled Ninomiya Kinjiro, Containing Colour Illustration Intended to Portray the Importance of Taxation, Specifically Relating to the All-Important Commodity, Rice.

Kamishibai propaganda plays / Japanese picture show (kamishibai) illustrating the importance of taxation, specifically relating to the all-important commodity: rice. Folio.

Text is in Japanese. Contained in publisher's original paper portfolio covers, with title label to front. Story cards measure approximately 38 x 26 cm.

Indeed, little effort was made during the course of the war to explain to the Japanese people what it was fought for; instead, it was presented as a chance to rally about the emperor. By using the example of the esteemed agrarian reformer and economic savant Ninomiya Kinjiro who was born into peasantry, lost his family and home in a disaster, and overcame all odds to become a notable leader and economic reformer, this story promotes the importance of government taxation, even on basic needs such as rice. Ninomiya Kinjiro (1787-1856) was an important agrarian reformer and economic thinker of the late Edo period. His legendary diligence and studiousness as a child made him a natural exemplar for Japanese schoolchildren. At one time, most every elementary school in Japan displayed a statue depicting Ninomiya as a youth with a bundle of firewood on his back and an open book in his hand.

Kamishibai Propaganda Play, Titled Uesugi Yozan, Containing Colour Illustration of Samurai Warriors Working in the Fields Aid in Food Production for the Nation at War.

Kamishibai propaganda play / Japanese picture show (kamishibai) illustrating Samurai warriors plying away in the fields aid in food production for the nation at war. Folio. The complete work, comprising 20 offset full-colour printed illustrative cards which together form a story to educate or indoctrinate the viewer with nationalist concepts during the Second World War, each with printed story text to verso, one of the cards being the title and publishing information. Text is in Japanese. Contained in publisher's original paper portfolio covers, with title label to front. Story cards measure approximately 38 x 26 cm.

Indeed, little effort was made during the course of the war to explain to the Japanese people what it was fought for; instead, it was presented as a chance to rally about the emperor. This is a story of Samurai warriors working in the fields with ordinary people in order to help grow food, a clever example using the elite class that all look up to, in order to encourage citizens to contribute to Japan's efforts in World War II. It is cleverly named after the famous and revered Uesugi Yozan, who at the young age of 17 became daimyo of the economically failing Yonezawa domain, and through hard work and sacrifice, led his people and feudal land back to prosperity. Uesugi Yozan (1751-1822), the daimyo (feudal baron) who restored the fortunes of the impoverished Yonezawa domain, is famously known as one of Japan's most virtuous lords. Perhaps the most famous words left by Yozan are, "To achieve, one must act. To not act is to not achieve; this is true in all things. The inability to achieve is the result of inaction." Indeed, Yozan is a fitting an influential figure to support this propaganda and motivate citizens to contribute their efforts to winning the war.
