Manchuria Shinano Village Construction Council: Complete Set of Distribution Materials, 1937
Manchuria Shinano Village Construction Council — Complete Set of Distribution Materials, 1937
A scarce complete set of the materials distributed at the 1937 council on the construction of the Manchurian Shinano Village — one of the settlement-colonisation projects that sent emigrant communities from Japan's Nagano (Shinano) region to the Manchurian frontier. Handed out at a council convened at the Nagano Prefectural Library, the documents retain their original outer wrapper and gather the working papers placed before the participants.
Settlement-colonisation ephemera of this kind — council hand-outs prepared for a specific gathering and never formally published — survive only rarely, and rarely as a complete set within its wrapper. As a primary source the materials speak directly to the planning, organisation, and promotion of agrarian emigration to Manchuria, documenting one of the defining social undertakings of the period from the inside. For historians of Manchurian colonisation, of prefectural emigration policy, and of Northeast Asian settlement history, it is a specific and uncommon resource.
A genuine documentary set of the period, well suited to a serious collection of Manchuria and Northeast Asian historical materials.
Offered by KT Vintage, drawing on decades of trusted international sales to discerning collectors and institutions across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
