This is a rare original group of personal documents and daily-use items that once belonged to a single Imperial Japanese Navy sailor, dating approximately from the mid-1930s to the early 1940s. Rather than a display or ceremonial set, this collection represents the quiet, everyday reality of a serviceman whose role was to learn, record, communicate, and follow orders within the naval system. Included are multiple official booklets such as a Navy service handbook, field manuals, and training guides related to basic communication methods (including signal instruction), along with handwritten notes and records. These materials suggest a sailor who was required to read, understand, and transmit information-an essential but often unseen role. The group also contains personal textile items such as a cloth headband, a drawstring storage bag, and other small effects that would have accompanied him through daily duty rather than formal occasions. Their worn condition reflects actual use rather than preservation. Taken together, these items do not depict a hero or officer, but an ordinary individual who lived within the structure of the Imperial Navy during a period of increasing tension and expansion. His name does not appear in history books-but collections like this are what allow us to reconstruct the lives of those who supported the system from within. All items are original period pieces. Condition shows age-related wear, fading, stains, and paper fragility, consistent with materials from this era. Please review photos carefully. This collection is offered as a historical reference and personal archival group. Approximate 7-21days(To USA).
