Here we have a wonderful personal photo album with some professional shots as well as personal snapshots, many of which show members of the Imperial Japanese Army often in the field. There are also a good number of company or platoon photographs. These are held in place for the most part by glue, and while a total of eighty photographs may seem like a small amount for an album, we believe that this example is complete and not missing any photographs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pictures show the beginning of their service, with several shots of Good Luck flags covered in signatures, and a great shot of the album’s owner with his flag attached to the front of his rifle.

One photo shows a soldier next to what appears to be a French WWI Renault FT Tank, which is very likely as Japan operated 13 of these tanks during the inter-war period. The album measures 6⅜ x 9¾”, and the cover appears to depict a woman dancing with flora \u0026amp; fauna around her. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a wonderful album with some amazing and historical images giving us a glimpse into war time Japan!
