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.
