Kamikaze Vintage Cards

Kamikaze Vinatage Cards
This high-spirited set of vintage New Year’s cards celebrates the historic flight of the Kamikaze, a Mitsubishi Ki-15 aircraft that became the first Japanese-built plane to fly from Japan to Europe. Sponsored by the Asahi Shimbun newspaper and piloted by Masaaki Iinuma (who came to be known as “the Japanese Lindbergh”), the Kamikaze made its momentous 51-hour flight from Tokyo to London in April 1937. The New Year’s cards were printed later that year by Tanaka & Co. (the artist is unknown).

Without getting into a political disucssion, I just wanted to point out that it’s interesting that Korea is illustrated in as part of Japan.
