Author: Hikifuda & Sugoroku.
Title: [Nichiro Kinen Sugoroku].
Description: n.p. [1905?]. Colour lithograph 26x37cm. A bit smudged and rumpled, pretty good. ¶ I have seen a few hikifuda made as sugoroku but they have been staid affairs featuring birds, flowers and graceful women in flowing kimonos. This exuberant advertisement game celebrates the Russo-Japanese war victory. These hikifuda - small posters or handbills - were usually produced with the text panel blank. The customer, usually a retailer, had their own details over printed.
