This is an original photo album published in Taisho 9 (1920), just after the completion of Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu) in Tokyo. This sacred site was built to honor Emperor Meiji, who led Japan’s rapid modernization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, transforming the country from a feudal society into a major world power. Rare photographs and illustrations showing the shrine’s grand construction, architecture, rituals, and the first ceremonies ever held at Meiji Jingu. Detailed scenes of traditional Shinto processions, the great torii gate, and the lush forest that was planted as an act of national devotion. A glimpse into the mindset of the era, where loyalty to the Emperor and national unity were central values taught to soldiers and citizens alike. Why is it important? Meiji Shrine is more than a religious site: it became a symbol of Japan’s national identity and its new place in the world after the Meiji Restoration. This album was published by the Imperial Military Education Association, meaning it was intended as an official educational tool for young soldiers-instilling pride, reverence, and national spirit. Who valued this album? Young military cadets, educators, and even ordinary citizens would have seen these images as a source of inspiration and pride. Today, it is a tangible “piece of history” for collectors, researchers, and anyone interested in the roots of modern Japan. There are stains, discoloration, and minor damages due to age, but this only adds to the authenticity and charm of this almost 105-year-old artifact. Own a Piece of History. Approximately 5-7days(To USA).

What a gorgeous poster sized certificate! This was made out to Robert Van Roo who was in the Wisconsin National Guard. He graduated with a bachelor degree in Science.
