1930220262Japan. No date. 1930s - 1980. Over ninety black and white and one colour photograph presented in a self-adhesive photograph album with 16 pages each with a clear overlay sheet. Some photographs are loose and a few appear to be missing but the album is quite full clear overlay sheets no longer sticking strongly meaning the photographs could be easily removed if desired long tear along hinge of upper cover. 32.8 x 28.5cm. A charming and historically interesting photograph album of a family of Korean residents in Japan Zainichi Koreans. Although the album appears to have been compiled around the 1970s it also contains older family photos dating back to the prewar period. <br> <br>One image shows the mother of the family with a woman friend taken in Busan Korea presumably before moving to Japan. Another photo of a young man was taken at a photo studio in the Amagasaki-Nadahama area of Japan between Osaka and Kobe: an area which had a large population of prewar Korean migrants. There are a number of delightful photos of the family's babies several taken with an older woman in Korean dress who may be their grandmother. A couple of the photos show Korean weddings while the pictures of the family's children show them sometimes in Korean and sometimes in Japanese dress. One image depicts a school class with children wearing headbands probably taken during the Pacific War. The family seems to have done quite well because the photos taken in the interior of their house show comfortable furnishings and electrical appliances from the early postwar decades. A fascinating insight into the everyday life of Koreans in Japan in the trans war era. . unknown

1940170613第一徴兵保険他. Daiichi Chōhei Hoken and others. Circa1940. Charming group of seven pieces of Japanese insurance ephemera. Each of the six brochures and one booklet 18 pages are very attractively presented with coloured covers colour and black and white illustrations charts sizes vary from 15.5 x 9.5cm to 18.2 x 12.7cm. Occasional light foxing all are in very good condition. This is a very interesting and attractive collection of ephemera published around 1940 relating to life insurance policies for Japanese families and children. Four of the brochures are insurance for conscription two relate to life insurance and one the 18 page booklet is on a family life insurance. Japanese life insurance policies for children were and are used as accumulative saving plans towards covering educational costs. Thus when a policy matures a lump sum is paid to a policy holder so that the money can be used for schooling. <br> <br>The conscription insurance was an unusual saving plan for Japanese boys before the Pacific War. All Japanese men were obliged to serve in the military and had to have physical assessment when they turned 20 years old. During peace time only about 10 to 25% of them were actually conscripted but during the Pacific War the rate became much higher. The insurance policy could set its maturity age either at 18 or 20. The lump sum payouts were to be used for military service preparation education or wedding. <br> <br>The 18 page brochure on the family insurance was published by Nagoya Postal Agency as the Ministry of Post and Communication ran saving banks and insurance policies. It provides comprehensive information on the rates of return and services provided for policy holders. <br> <br>Some insurance companies still running today including the Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance Company whose brochure is in the collection had their origins in the conscription insurance business. . 第一徴兵保険他.
