Title: A gathering of eleven Taisho period cheap and flimsy paper games and booklets.
Description: n.p. 1910s to 20s. Sizes range from 8x5cm to 17x11cm closed. Obviously never used. ¶ These look very much like they were gifts that accompanied something else or were rewards for coupons or suchlike. Five, including the origami-like soldier, fold out to be 'board' games with playing pieces inside; two are cinema like thrillers on accordian leaves and the two smallest are puzzling envelopes containing blank sheets and what looks like talcum; finally are the two booklets, smaller illustrated in black and white, larger in colour, telling the story of the Tongue Cut Sparrow.
