Homogeneous collection of 146 photographs taken by a Japanese mother in Osaka before, during and immediately after World War 2. She must have been a pacifist because none of the photos show or indicate a military presence of any kind, which is rare for photo collections of this period. The focus is on schools and daily life of the people, with images of local shops, an open-air circus, a man making a telephone call, swimming instructions at the beach, the zoo and more. Also two photos of plans for a new school designed by T. Yoshida. Only a few photos have captions on reverse. M

Official photo album of the Rome-Tokyo flight of 1920 by Tenente A. Ferrarin. This album covers the stopover in Shanghai and is loaded with numerous news articles and letters regarding the flight but more so the attempt by Italian G. A. Bena to hold an international exhibition in Shanghai. Interesting views expressed concerning the need to increase Western understanding of the East, and the reationale for a fair in Shanghai. 9 photos, 3 letters (2 by Bena and 1 by G.C. Howard, US Trade Commissioner), 2 news articles and a membership card in the Reale Unione Nationale Aeronautica of Italian pilot Michelangelo Verrelli, who may have owned the album. Rare. M

An original collection of 21 photographs relating to the New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church of Yokohama, Japan. The church was established in 1954 by Eugene Reagan, a missionary affiliated with the American Baptist Association (Landmark Baptists). No captions except for one photo. Photos of Regan and others as well as the original church, preaching to American servicemen and servicemen preaching. Interesting photo of Reagan baptizing a local girl indoors.  M

NOTE from internet: Army Captain Eugene Reagan served in Yokohama, Japan right after World War II. His missionary ministry began by teaching Bible classes to Americans. (I think he was already an ordained preacher at that time.) Some of the Japanese people were also interested in the classes. Reagan enlisted a young Japanese man who was not a Christian to serve as his translator. That young man, Sheigeo Kanoya, was converted and became one of the charter members of a Baptist Church that was organized. He was later called to preach and pastored that church for over 50 years. After finishing his service in the army, Reagan went back to Japan as a missionary.
