This Japanese photo of a young woman is dated on its back, as having been taken on February 6, Showa 19 (1944), and was shot by Isokawa photo studio. There are no inscriptions.

This image is in basically good condition. There are no tears or significant scratches, but there are some smudges, some age-spots, and wear at the edges and corners. The detail is good but the focus softens a little under magnification. The tones in the close-up sample scan are fairly close to those of the actual image.

Size:
W2 15/16" (74mm) X H4 3/16" (105mm).

This item is set to ship via Air Mail, and should arrive within 7-14 days after being posted.

General Note about Shipping:

Unless otherwise indicated, we ship all of our items via Standard Air Mail. Nonetheless, we are always happy to change shipping methods if faster (and thus more expensive) or cheaper (and thus slower) shipping is desired. The shipping options available are (from fastest and most expensive to slowest and least expensive): EMS, Air Mail, SAL (economy airmail), Surface.

Registered mail with tracking is also available for an additional US$5.60 above the standard Air Mail shipping cost stated in the description.

We are glad to combine multiple items for shipping, and of course will discount some of the postage charges for each item after the first one. Please note that the shipping discount is not large for heavy items, but for small, light things we will discount the shipping charges by 40-100 percent, depending on how heavy it is and how it needs to be packed.

We ship at least once and very often twice a week, and so most of the time items will be in the mail within no more than 10 business days after we have received payment. We also always send a brief note informing buyers when their items have shipped.
