WWII Imperial Japanese China Campaign Photo Book / Central China Expedition 1937

  
This is an original WWII-era Japanese military photo book titled "Chushi wo Yuku" ("Marching into Central China"), published by the Propaganda Department of the Imperial Japanese Expeditionary Army in China. The book was printed shortly after the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937) and documents the military campaign in central China - with detailed photos, maps, and narratives showing the advance of Japanese troops, encounters with civilians, and battle aftermaths. Unlike typical commemorative books, this was produced under military supervision, making it a powerful tool of wartime propaganda. Invasion scenes from Shanghai and Nanjing areas. Cultural snapshots of Chinese daily life. The term "China Incident" was Japan's euphemism for the full-scale invasion. This book uses such language, reflecting the imperial mindset of the time - a reminder of how language itself was weaponized.

A rare and valuable artifact for collectors of WWII militaria, Pacific War studies, or historical propaganda materials. Own a Piece of History. International Buyers - Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.
