Title: [Joshi Supotsu Sugoroku].
Description: Shufunotomo 1925 (Taisho 14). colour broadside 95x64cm. Small tears around the edges; pretty good. ¶ This extra large and stylish manga game was the new year gift from the magazine Shufunotomo - housewife's friend. There's something not often seen here: girls being strenuous and competitive to the point of sweating. Recurring through the game is a fierce battle between two girls, one in red stripes and one in blue. Along the way they shake hands. Those are patterned stockings, by the way, not a skin disease.Tanaka was a specialist in moga - modern girls - through the twenties.
