Highly coloured folding children's poster of aphorisms issued as a supplement to 少年倶楽部. [Shōnen Kurabu]. 33 x 47.4cm. Tiny chips one corner, closed tears along folds now neatly mended.

A colourful children's poster published by the magazine Shonen Kurabu. The central panel is a weekly schedule on which the owner can fill in their school timetable. This is surrounded by small decorative images illustrating famous maxims. Some (complete with miniature portraits) are from famous historical figures. Abraham Lincoln, for example, instructs the viewer that "study is the mother of success", and samurai statesman Saifo Takamori pronounces that "Sincerity is the road to heaven". Other aphorisms are illustrated with (somewhat at random, it seems) images of birds, flowers, boats, sporting scenes etc. A winged horse illustrates the motto "respect your teachers", and the words "let us give answers clearly and with correct posture" is illustrated by an image of a polar bear and icebergs. These illustrations (some 70 in all) are designed to be cut out and pasted as decorative stickers in exercise books etc. There is also a panel of seven pictures accompanied by the instruction "please gives these to your friends, to encourage an increase in the number of readers of Japan's No.1 Shonen Kurabu".
