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.
