This is an original Imperial Japanese Army photo album commemorating the Manchuria deployment between 1934 and 1936. The album documents the overseas service of an Imperial Japanese Army field artillery regiment, recording the daily life, training, equipment, and surroundings of Japanese soldiers stationed in Manchuria during the early Showa period. 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. This album captures the regiment before the later stages of the war, when material shortages and severe losses became widespread. Manchuria had become firmly established under Japanese control. Military organization and training were still relatively well-equipped. Large-scale total war conditions had not yet fully emerged. As such, this album preserves a moment before the extreme deterioration and collapse experienced by many units later in the war. Approximately 90 years old. Age-related toning, stains, and wear present. No major structural damage. Overall condition consistent with original military albums of this era. Please review all photos carefully. This album is more than a collection of old photographs. It is a primary historical document offering insight into. Imperial Japanese Army artillery units. Early Showa-era overseas deployment. The lived reality of soldiers stationed in Manchuria. Highly suitable for collectors of Japanese military history, Manchurian studies, and pre-World War II primary sources. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.
