Item description from seller

Card leaflet in landscape format 17x10cm. (4)pp English and French texts with main title also in Arabic + colour postcard bound in with a perforated edge for removal.

The 1st JIFF visited SE Asia, the 2nd the Middle East and South America, and the 3rd Australia and New Zealand.

The front panel features the route map (departing Tokyo and returning to Kobe via Singapore). The interiors give background on JIFF and its sponsors. The back describes the Sakura-Maru. The postcard shows the Sakura-Maru at sea. Very rare.…
