5 very attractive colour postcards, 9 x 14cm, attractive pictorial paper envelope slightly browned and creased, very good copies.

These 5 postcards were published for sending to the front line soldiers from the home front. Each postcard has an illustration of a melancholy young Japanese woman dressed in a kimono, printed around her are the words and musical score of a folk song from one of 5 Japanese regions - Akita, Kusatsu, Yoneyama, Kagoshima and Yamanaka. On receipt the soldier would think fondly of home and maybe sing the folk song to or with his companions at the front.
