c1942 Original Japanese Navy Photo Actress Miyuki Yamanaka Signed Nanjing China:
$499.99
This rare c1942 photo depicts a Japanese Navy military officer standing with Miyuki Yamanaka (phrased Yamanaka Miyuki within Japan), who was a singer and actress at the time. The signature across the photo is hers.
Approximate size: 2.6 inches x 3.5 inches It is assumed she went to Nanjing China, recently conquered as part of the Sino-Japanese War, to entertain the troops there. She was a popular singer in Japan at the time.
The signed photo is very rare. In my research, I haven't come across anything of hers for sale online currently, with or without a signature. Items having to do with her don't seem to come onto the market hardly often at all. For Japanese history or Japanese historical pop culture collectors, this is a must-have.The reference photo is from The Washington Times (Washington D.C.), published on June 21, 1937. It discusses Miyuki as observed from an American newspaper.As a summarized version, it reads:
