Morita Hisashi. - [Kensho Tsuki Shonen Yakyu Sugoroku].

Tokyo, Sekai Shonen 1923 (Taisho 12). Colour broadside 55x79cm. Signs of use: a couple of small holes in folds and ink blotches. ¶ An early baseball game. Baseball made cameo appearances in earlier games devoted to sport but the earliest all baseball sugoroku I've so far seen was the 1921 new year sugoroku also produced by the boy's magazine Shonen Sekai. Clearly it was a hit - this was the new year gift only two years later.Morita was a busy illustrator and art director for the Takarazuka Revue through the twenties.
