Home Education Sugoroku

(家庭教育双六, '
Katei kyōiku sugoroku')


1915


Comment - Home Education board game (sugoroku) from the beginning of WW I. The kite detail shows a yakko kite. A girl with modern haircut is tending her brother, who had been stumbling down and lost his left geta. Nevertheless the boy kept the kite line in his left hand. The boy wears a military style cap, typical for the time being. The detail is overwritten with "kindness" (shinsetsu, 親切), both in kanji and hiragana.
