An excellent 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.
The signature on this print says: Yoshio Kuranosuke Oishi and his fellows set off for revenge for his master’s disgrace. This is known as Chushingura:忠臣蔵, fathful servant, Kura(nosuke). Oishi & his fellows are famous as models of faithful servants who spent their lives to restore their master’s honor. Hollywood movie "47 Ronin", starring Keanu Reeves, is based on this amazing story.
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. There is age wear on paper, at edges, and if this bothers you, it won't show when the piece is matted. We will pack it with care and ship it to you in a tube. Please notice: this is not a reproduction, but original rare lithograph of a huge size and in good condition.
