Author: Kaburagi Kiyokata & Miyagawa Haru?
Title: [Boken Sugoroku].
Description: Shonenkai 1906 (Meiji 39). Colour broadside 47x63cm. Folded as issued, rather good. ¶ Don't be fooled by the elegant and delicate artwork. This new year gift from the boy's magazine Shonenkai is filled with adventure, peril and slaughter. Nothing with fur, fin or feather - if large enough - is safe from these boys on their jaunt round the world. When they aren't shooting eagles they are clubbing seals. No artist is named but a 2016 exhibition at the Shinjuku Historical Museum attributed this game to Kaburagi and Miyagawa.
