This is an original Imperial Japanese Army photo album commemorating the Manchuria deployment between 1934 and 1936.

Soldiers’ daily life and group portraits. Field artillery guns and equipment. Military training scenes and formations. Uniforms, insignia, and period gear. Landscapes and urban scenes of Manchuria. Rather than staged combat propaganda, the album presents a calm, documentary-style record of a Japanese Army artillery unit during a relatively stable pre-war phase. The unit documented in this album is identified as Field Artillery Regiment No. 22, a Japanese Army artillery regiment responsible for providing fire support to infantry formations. Artillery units played a crucial role in Imperial Japanese Army operations, requiring technical skill, coordination, and disciplined organization.
