Yamada Takanori. - [Shonen Yakyu Sugoroku].

Tokyo, Shonen Sekai 1921 (Taisho 10). Colour broadside 55x79cm. Used, a bit rumpled and browned with some short tears and a small chip in the margin. This is - some mitigation - an untrimmed copy with ample margins and trim marks in the top margin. Not bad. ¶ An early and rare baseball sugoroku, this was the new year gift from the boys' magazine Shonen Sekai. There is an earlier Japanese baseball paper game ( 1907) but it's not exciting - a simple baseball diamond within a decorative border - and I haven't yet found an earlier sugoroku devoted to it.
