douglas Posted February 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2019 I have a large lot of paperwork that is Japanese. Here is a photo of four pieces of paperwork. I know one is some kind of war bond. The small booklet on the right with the stork feeding babies is interesting. I will post some pages of that booklet. The story is that this man was killed during WW2, but I have no way to find out any information. Anyone read Japanese to tell what these items are? Thanks, Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Queen Posted February 2, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 2, 2019 It's a boshi techou (母子手帳) from Hyougo Prefecture (兵庫県) 1950 It's kind of a mother/child birth/health record book. Omae (surname) 大前 ** Kazuhiro (given name) 和博 was born on July 17, 1950 Mother's name was Etsu (恵律) Father's name was Yoshi (勝) ** Yoshihiro also possible. Same characters.

douglas Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted February 2, 2019 Thank you !!! I ended up with a small box full of paperwork, including personal letters and booklets, a couple of maps and other misc papers. And several larger format black and white negatives of a Japanese family. The story I got was that someone in Japan moved into a house and found this lot of paperwork and I got it, instead if it being thrown out. Looks to me that the Japanese man moved to Brazil before the war and maybe was a dentist? Then back to Japan. The story is he went into the service and was killed in the war. That is the story I got anyway. Again, thank you for your help. Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
