During World War II many Japanese companies were consolidated as part of the war effort. With Japan's defeat and occupation by allied forces the various conglomerates that had been created were broken up by order of the Supreme Commander Allied Powers. This included the Japanese railway companies though railroads remained a vital means of transportation not only for locals but for the occupying forces. Apparently not recorded on OCLC.

19695ca. 1920-1931 Kyushu Japan. Very good . Oblong 4to. String-tied commecial album; black boards. Contains 57 gelatin-silver prints of various sizes including 8" by 10" 7.5" by 5" and smaller most of which are adhesive-mounted with several loose plus 11 postcards depicting Kyushu Lutheran churches and one bookmark. One photograph apparently perished; several others loosening from pages. Else apparently complete.Album edges moderately worn; one photo missing a chunk at edge. Most are lightly toned but overall clean. Very good or better. <br/><br/>Well-assembled photo album compiled by an American Lutheran missionary to Japan whose face appears consistently in the majority of the photographs. The island of Kyushu is home to several Lutheran schools and churches including the Kyushu Gakuin Kyushu Lutheran College and the Janice James School both of which are pictured here having recently been built in the early 1900's. The Kyushu Lutheran mission was founded in 1893 by American missionaries; within several years they began building churches under the supervision of one Charles Lafayette Brown 1874-1921 and presumably the subjects pictured here with members of that particualr mission. The album features posed group photographs of large congregations — as large as roughly 150 — captioned with date and location in cities including Kurume Kamamoto and Saga; additionally included are many images of church services in progress plus several family portraits of church members. While Christianity began to spread when Japan phased out its isolationist policies in the 1850s Protestant evangilization in particular slowed under the military government of the Showa period the early years of which are covered by this album.These anti-Western trends were closely tied to the patriotic fervor that culminated in WWII. An absorbing visual archive of a prospering Protestant community and of American missionary activity in Imperial Japan. hardcover books

Oblong folio. 295 x 220 mm bound in publisher's green cloth. Tokyo: Teikoku Kaigunsha 1940. An elaborate and beautifully produced book commemorating the Japanese fleet's 1939 training exercises.

19450088251945. Very good. Envelope only no letter. <br /><br />The envelope was addressed to Private First Class Walter Mikucki at the Osaka Yodogawa Bunsho POW Camp in Japan. It has a typed "Prisoner of War Postage Free" free frank in the upper right corner and has received a Chicago "War Savings machine postmark dated Jan 13 1944. The envelope was opened by a U.S. censor and resealed using censor tape annotated "Examined by 6587." The address was subsequently obliterated with a red cross and black bands using grease pencil or crayon. It has a circular handstamp in the lower right corner dated Nov 20 1945 with text that appears to read "LIBERATED HQ. USMC. WASH. D.C." There is a USMC "pointing finger" return-to-sender hand stamp that point to the return address. <br /><br />Pfc. Mikucki was a member of the 4th Marine Regiment when as war clouds rumbled in the Pacific it was sent from China to Corregidor to defend Manila Bay in the Philippines. Shortly after its arrival Japan launched its infamous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and allied bases throughout the Pacific. Corregidor was bombed continuously from late December 1941 until May 5 1942 when an overwhelming force of Japanese soldiers landed on the island. After tanks were brought ashore the following day Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright realized defeat was imminent and surrendered fearing the thousand or so wounded men and bedraggled defenders would be annihilated. <br /><br />Although most of the 4th Marine Regiment had been killed the remaining men were transported to prison camps in Japan. The Yodogawa Bunsho Camp near Osaka was one of the smallest Japanese prisoner of war camps and records in the National Archives identify only 12 prisoners that were known to have been held there. Pfc. Mikucki's name is not on that list. <br /><br />Other records show that Mikucki may also have been imprisoned at various times at the Itchioke Chikko and Umeda Bunsho camps. He died from unknown causes on March 11 1943. <br /><br />Clearly this information was not provided by the Japanese to the Red Cross as Mikucki's parents sent this letter ten months later. <br /><br />Examples of mail sent to American prisoners held in Japan are very scarce and this example may be unique for at the time of this listing I find no mention in philatelic or ephemera auction records in sale listings or institutional holdings of other returned mail for Corregidor Marines who died in Japanese prisoner of war camps . Also there is no mention of anything similar in Gruenzner's <i>Postal History of pf American POWs</i>. <br /><br /> books
