A leporello of 24 albumen paper photographs each approximately 90 × 140 mm mounted on both sides of card leaves bound in brocade-covered thick bevel-edged boards 120 × 180 mm. Brocade lightly worn at some corners; leaves slightly cockled; minor silverfish damage to the surface of the pastedowns and the two adjacent pages affecting the top portion of the two photographs mounted on them; for the rest the condition is excellent. The images include views of villages towns and shrines with occasional mountain scenes Mount Fuji makes a cameo appearance. Only one image is captioned in the negative 'Temple at illegible'. We have handled hand-coloured examples of albums of this nature and we have to say these uncoloured plates are much to be preferred. Unknown Publisher unknown

An Elegaic Photo Album to a Fallen Soldier.

194275667Toyohasi and others: V.p. 1942. A fine album photographically recording the life of a Japanese soldier during the Second World War. Soldiers albums abound and are usually crammed with pictures of family members loved places in Japan battle scenes fellow soldiers etc. They are not uncommon. This album is quite different and we believe it is something of an official album. It is a professionally bound quarto album 10 x 12 inches string tied and with printing on the cover that reads "Toyohashi Rikugun Kyodo Gakko 1942"â€™ Imperial Japanese Army Academy. Toyohashi being a city in Aichi prefecture near Nagoya. The album contains 52 original silver gelatin photographs with all but three nicely mounted in the album almost always just one to a page making it more of an aesthetic album more like a tribute. The majority of the photographs are 6 x 4 1/2 inches and are nicely composed. It feels that these particular photos were well chosen as opposed to most albums that have a confusion of photographs. The first five leaves are almost assuredly the same in every album. The first leaf bears the lyrics of the school song; the photo of text on the following leaf are the â€œFive Teachingsâ€ of Heihachiro Togo 1838-1934 who was the highest-ranking officer in the Japanese Imperial Navy. On the following page is a photographic portrait of Hideki Tojo 1884-1948 General of the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. Beneath this portrait is the text of an address written and signed by officials of the Ministry of the Army which is dated December 8 1941 - just one day after the Japanese attack n Pearl Harbor. Nest comes a photograph of Isoruku Yamamoto Marshal Admiral of the Imperial Japanese Navy IJN and the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet. Two further portraits of Japanese leading military figures follow. At the end of the album is a list of all the men who graduated from that training camp and one of names is checked off; a man named Yamanaka. We may deduce from this that this album is devoted to his activities in the war. There are a few photographs of the school in Toyohashi e.g. an officer addressing the entire platoon. Yamanaka seems to have been assigned to a tank brigade and there are a number of pictures of tanks in action the men crossing small rivers camping in the open etc. Quite a few seem like actual battle scenes although we can never see the opposing army. It is impossible to tell the location but from the flora it seems to be one of the many islands in the South Pacific. There are a few photographs of aircraft one of the controversial Yasukuni Temple and a few artistic commercial photos of battle paintings. The very last photograph is smaller than any other in the album 2 x 3 inches and just shows one soldier kneeling in the grass helmet on and rifle in hand. One gets the very strong impression that this is Soldier Yamanaka as his parents wanted to remember him. On a purely conjectural basis we think that early in the war these albums were given to the families of enlisted men and all of the albums came with the same first 6 photographs. Presumably the intention was for their sons to mail back pictures of their activities overseas and Soldier Yamanaka apparently did so as would any dutiful Japanese son giri or duty is a powerful idea in Japan. That there are no pictures of him reunited with his parents or even back in Japan leads to the inevitable conclusion that he died overseas. A rather sad album that just seems to echo loss. V.p. unknown

[JAPAN -- SOUVENIR ALBUM].Biblio.com

An intriguing souvenir album for a trip to the Nikko Toshogu Shrine composed of 24 silver gelatin printing-out-paper photographs all hand-painted in watercolours by an unknown Japanese photographer.

151960917Nikko Japan: n.p. possibly T. Hasegawa Publisher’s ca. 1915-1917. Oblong folio. 14.5 x 10.25 in. 24 pp unpaginated. brown bifolium leaves w/ slits cut into corners backing paper within the created pouch and 24 silver gelatin printed-out-paper hand-painted watercolour photographs a few w/ captions w/in the negative all printed on the special medium thickness gelatin printing-out-paper also no bleed-through from the nicely executed water-colouring. Contemporary beige-coloured rough raw padded silk post-binder punch-sewn at gutter margin w/ golden silk braid minor wear & fraying to upper & lower fore-edges wear to corners some scuffing occasional minor tears to brown paper fore-edges still a VG- exemplar from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm 1840-1932 noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon industrialist and entrepreneur. An exceptional Taisho-era souvenir album composed of nicely watercolour-painted gelatin printing-out-paper photographs allowing the artist to achieve an ethereal and mystical effect in the images almost as if there is frequently a mist overlaying the scene. These are definitely not photomechanical collotype or gravure process images and the softness achieved in the production indicates these were developed as glass-plate negative contact prints exposed to strong sunlight on an exceptional medium weight thickness matte-finish paper. This series of images capture the road to the Nikko Toshogu Shrine; the famed Five-Storied Pagoda located at the entrance; one wing of the Tokugawa Ieyasu Temple; the iconic Three Wise Monkeys on the inside of the shrine once part of what was originally 8 monkeys on the unpainted wooden sacred stable in front of the Yomoeimon. Also included here are photos capturing the splendid Yomeimon Gate famed for its glittering impact with more than 240000 pieces of gold leaf the Sukibei Wall at the Toshogu Shrine the Nikko Station at the Shrine and the interior of the Nikko Temple. One of the exceptional photos included here is that of the Jiun-ji Temple of the 74 Narabi Jizo Statues along the road to the Kanmangafuchi Abyss along with nicely executed photos of the Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. Although unidentified by photographer’s imprint within negative or on verso of inserted images these types of souvenir photographs could be purchased from souvenir and stationery stands in Nikko Kyoto or other tourist spots from 1885 until after World War I. See: Worswick & Morris Japan: Photographs 1854-1905 1979 and Dower Century of Japanese Photography 1980. n.p., possibly T. Hasegawa Publisher’s, unknown
