[History Mania Surprise] Strategy map of horror hidden in one coin of toys Thorough dissection of menko!

At first glance, it was just an old menko, but its true identity was a very vivid "real-time wartime document" created immediately after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in the latter half of 1937 to around 1938.

What is drawn on the surface is a soldier wielding a military sword on a moonlit night and the words "Battle of Badaling." It is a great battle that occurred at a strategic point of the Great Wall, which is also a world heritage. You can see that the news at that time was dropped into children's toys at top speed.

What is even more shocking is the back side. A real strategy map called "North China District Schematic Map" is printed. The characters of "Manchukuo" and the invasion routes of the Japanese army (such as Zhangjiakou and Datong) are covered in super detail. In other words, the meaning of this menko is the reality of militarism that "children were imprinted with the front line of the war in their brains while playing."

Because it is a consumable item that can be bought at a candy store for 1 sen, it usually does not remain. However, this divine state that can be read clearly to the place name is a miracle. Historically and collectively, it is a super rare first-class item with museum-class value!
