Internationale Orden & militärhistorische Sammlungsstücke - A83

| 45 zu ignorieren - die Bilder zeigen zum größten Teil die Zerstörung des Eigentums nach der Schlacht, die einsame und gefährliche Wache der japanischen Truppen fern von zu Hause. Das Buch „Takeaki’s Kriegserinnerung ( 武顕戦跡画集 )” wurde 1939, also zwei Jahre nach der Schlacht um Shanghai ( 淞沪会战 ) und demMassaker von Nanking ( 南京大屠殺 ) veröffentlicht. Von beiden ist in dem Buch keine Rede, es werden ausschließlich relativ friedliche Szenen dargestellt. Eine interessante und zum Nachdenken an­ regende Sammlung, die auf einem Thema basiert, das definitiv noch heute nachhallt. More than 60 watercolors of the attacks on Shanghai and Nanjing by the official Japanese artist ( 三橋武顕 ) accompanying the invasion army in China More than 60 wartime watercolors of the at- tacks on Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanking by Mitsuhasi Takeaki ( 三橋武顕 ). Plus two books and 29 postcards in four red-colored enve- lopes. Mitsuhashi Takeaki ( 三橋武顕 ) (1895 - 1974) is a Japanese artist. He was in the Japanese army during the invasion of central and south- ern China in the late 1930s. He had an inde- pendent career in peacetime and these paint- ings of his war memories were created during his military service in China. Most paintings are single sheets (27 x 36 cm). Some are larger and there are some folding works that consist of two, three, even four or five sheets. All are in good condition. Mitsuhashi chose to pass over the human toll – his images are for the most part of post-battle property destruction and the lonely and dan- gerous vigil of the Japanese troops far from home. The book “Takeaki’s War Memories ( 武顕戦 跡画集 )” was published in 1939, two years af- ter the Battle of Shanghai ( 淞沪会战 ) and the Nanking massacre ( 南京大屠殺 ) - none of which finds any echo in his book, which chooses to show peaceful scenes only. An interesting and thought-provoking archive based on a subject which definitely still rever- berates today. 275480 II + € 8.500 1033
