vintageproductions Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share #26 Posted June 16, 2021 About ten years ago I was offered a Kimono sample book that was all Russo-Japanese war themes. To this day I regret not buying it. The closest thing I could describe it to was a Tattoo artists flash book. It was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunes Of War Posted June 24, 2021 Share #39 Posted June 24, 2021 Bob- I really liked the colors of the illustrations in your #36 post; the field artillery piece, diving airplane and attacking tanks are cool! Images of these tanks (your #36, 37, and 38) were dancing in my head as I headed off to Micronesia to dive Truk Lagoon a couple of years ago. One of the thrills of my visit was to dive on a wreck and stand on the turret of one of these tanks, still strapped to the deck of the ship that was transporting it when it was sunk! Thank you for showing these; it's reignited my interest in Japanese patriotic clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
