A beautiful rare original extra large Japanese History School poster. It came with a collection of 18 posters published in Japan, which were banned after the end of WW2 by the general headquarters of the allied forces. It was used in Japan, before the end of WWII. This poster is depicting Sadanobu Matsudaira's inspection trip to see Japan’s border. Sadanobu is known as a highest rank in the officials in the government and he reformed political and economical system of Japan. You can find more information about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsudaira_Sadanobu
When it was published? Between early 1900s and 1940s. We only can say for sure that it was used before 1945. I believe it is hard to find other copies of this poster even in Japan, because it was banned after WW2 and because of all historical events that took place in the 20th century.
I could track history of this collection in the U.S. back to 20 years ago, when it was purchased at estate sale in Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs has a large military population, and I assume it was brought to the U.S. by someone who was stationed in Japan, but these are just my speculations.
Printed on one side. We found no losses or stains on the picture except one tiny repair which we are showing on the image #7, on the rock, if you can see it. There is a lot of wear on paper, at edges. But when it's matted this won't be showing. We will pack it with care and ship it to you in a tube. Please notice: this is not a reproduction, but original lithograph of a huge size and in good condition. less
