Own a rare piece of early Imperial Japanese naval history. This original “Explanation Chart of Battleship Cutaway” (?) was published by Yushu-kai on June 10, 1926 (Taisho 15) – the same organization that produced the famous Battleship Cutaway Poster. Printed in blue-print style on thin paper, this chart illustrates the detailed internal structure of a Japanese battleship modeled on the Nagato-class (Nagato & Mutsu) – the pride of the Imperial Navy at that time. Every compartment is meticulously labeled: gun turrets, officers’ quarters, boiler rooms, ammunition storage, even kitchens and signal decks. Created during the post-Washington Naval Treaty era, when Japan was forced to limit its fleet size, this diagram served both as an educational tool and as public naval propaganda, showing the advanced technology and discipline of the Empire’s Navy. The publisher Yushu-kai, based inside the Naval Officers’ Club “Suikosha” in Tokyo, specialized in producing technical and educational prints to promote naval science among officers and the public. Issued: June 10, 1926 (Taisho 15). Publisher: Yushu-kai, Suikosha, Tokyo. 39.5 × 102 cm. Format: Blue-print lithograph on thin paper. Condition: some aging stains, wrinkles, and minor edge tears (see photos). Still well-preserved for a nearly 100-year-old educational chart. A fascinating and visually striking chart that captures Japan’s naval ambition in the interwar years – a must-have for collectors of Imperial Japanese Navy memorabilia, maritime historians, and design archivists. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.
