This is a rare large-format pictorial album titled “Manchukuo Founding and the Shanghai Incident”, published in 1932 (Showa 7) by Yokohama Trading News Co. It features numerous original photographs, maps, and calligraphy, documenting the turbulent events in East Asia during the early 1930s. Following the Mukden Incident (September 1931), the Japanese Kwantung Army occupied Manchuria. In March 1932, the puppet state of Manchukuo was proclaimed with the last Qing emperor Puyi as its head of state. For Japan, Manchukuo became both an economic and military stronghold, while the international community strongly criticized it as illegitimate, leading to Japan’s growing isolation in world affairs. In January 1932, hostilities broke out in Shanghai between Japanese and Chinese forces. Intense urban combat followed, including the deployment of Japanese Navy Special Landing Forces. After months of fighting, a ceasefire was signed in May. The scale and violence of the conflict marked a deep escalation in Sino-Japanese tensions. Showa 7 (1932) – A Turning Point. March: Manchukuo officially proclaimed. January-May: First Shanghai Incident. May: Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi assassinated in the May 15 Incident. This year marked a decisive shift in Japan’s path toward militarization and international isolation, eventually leading to its withdrawal from the League of Nations. ? Contents of This Album.

Thank you for viewing my listing. This is an original wartime large-format poster issued during the Pacific War, depicting an Imperial Japanese Navy submarine launching a torpedo attack against an enemy fleet. These colorful printed illustrations were used for military education, naval facility displays, and wartime propaganda, and surviving examples are extremely scarce today. Wartime naval posters of this type served as visual tools to communicate battle situations, strengthen morale, and promote the technological strength of the Imperial Navy. The composition-showing the submarine beneath the surface, the torpedo wake, surface fleet under fire, and an inset circle showing the interior view of the submarine’s control room-is typical of early-Showa naval propaganda art. Because such materials were printed in limited quantities and heavily used, intact originals rarely appear on the market. This poster has been stored for decades and shows significant age-related damage. Large tears and missing sections along the edges. Creases, folds, stains, discoloration. Paper deterioration typical of wartime prints. Please inspect all photos carefully. Despite the damage, it remains a valuable historical and display-grade artifact of Imperial Japanese Navy wartime visual culture. Why Collectors Value This Piece. Submarine-related naval artwork is among the most sought-after wartime themes. The large size and bold composition make it ideal for display. Authentic WWII propaganda materials are increasingly hard to find. A dramatic “salvaged from the past” appearance that some collectors prefer. If you collect Imperial Japanese Navy artifacts, wartime printed materials, or submarine history, this is a rare opportunity to own an original piece. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. Approximate 7-21days(To USA).

LARGE 1-7/8 INCH SIZE 1920’S UNITED STATES ARMY & MARINE CORPS COLONEL EAGLES SHOULDER INSIGNIA, PIN-BACK W/ OPEN “C” CATCH. The insignia for a colonel is a silver eagle which is a stylized representation of the eagle dominating the Great Seal of the United States (which is the coat of arms of the United States). As on the Great Seal, the eagle has a U. Shield superimposed on its chest and is holding an olive branch and bundle of arrows in its talons. However, in simplification of the Great Seal image, the insignia lacks the scroll in the eagle’s mouth and the rosette above its head. On the Great Seal, the olive branch is always clutched in the eagle’s right-side talons, while the bundle of arrows is always clutched in the left-side talons. The head of the eagle faces towards the olive branch, rather than the arrows, advocating peace rather than war. As a result, the head of the eagle always faces towards the viewer’s left. Some colonel eagles from the 1920s to the 1950s faced the arrows, though this is no longer done. The full-sized colonel eagle is exactly two inches in diameter from the tips of each wing. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!
