Ei-Nichi Tango Kado [Two Boxes of English-Japanese Vocabulary Cards]

[Japan: ca. 1935]. Approximately one hundred cards in two boxes, cards measuring approximately 1 x 2 inches. Boxes slightly worn, a little splitting along folds but still holding firm. Cards clean and fresh, on various colors of stock. Very good. Item #6332

An attractive and unusual set of hand-written vocabulary flash cards, designed to assist Japanese students learning English. Each card features an English word on one side with the Japanese translation on the reverse. The cards, sold under the name Victory Cards, are presented in charming and petite period boxes. Each box bears the bold illustration of both the national flag and the Rising Sun flag flanking a helmeted soldier at the center -- an image that reflects the militarist atmosphere of the time. Words included here are from the letters C and D, with selections such as "coroner," "conspectus," "contraception," "convolute," "diaphragm," "deteriorate," "depot," "dexterity," and "diagonal," among others.
