Published by (circa1910)., [Osaka?]., 1910
Seller: Asia Bookroom ANZAAB/ILAB, Canberra, ACT, Australia
Colour lithograph poster 54.5 x 38cm. Two closed tears from margin, the largest running 3.5cm into the image, tiny chip and one small hole. Very good. This early 20th century Japanese advertising poster for the face lotion, Hakureisui (meaning literally white beautiful water) features the face of the most popular pin-up girl in Japan in the 1910s - the geisha later known as Teruha ?? . On the poster alongside Teruha is a cartoonesque image of an African (African American?) in a suit, his face double the size of Teruha's, each pointing to the skin of the other - a frightening example of racial stereotyping! Teruha was born as Takaoka Tatsuko ???? in Nara in 1896. Sold by her alcoholic father at the age of 12 into slavery, her fortune changed two years later when she began training as a geisha in Osaka, taking the name of Chiyoha ??? Due to her stunning and unusual looks she quickly became very well known. Over her career she had a number of liasons but probably the best known is her relationship with a playboy and high-end fashion dealer in 1911, as during their break-up she cut off her small finger to prove her love. Because of this scandal, she could not stay in Osaka and moved to Shinbashi, in Tokyo where she became a geisha named Teruha ?? In Shinbashi she was also a very popular and it was here that she became known as the "Nine-finger Geisha". Such was her fame that postcards with her image were published in large quantities and are still collected to this day. Teruha married twice but in both cases the marriage ended badly. Her first marriage to a stock broker brought her to the United States. While in New York she enrolled in a school to learn English where she had an affair with a woman. On her return to Japan the scandal of her affair in America became known and the marriage broke up. She returned to New York, later living also in London and Paris where it is thought she might have had a child. In the 1920s Teruha also appeared as a lead character in a romantic film. In 1935 she became a Buddhist nun at Gio-ji Temple in Kyoto, where it appears she lived happily until her death in 1994. Takegaki, the company which published this advertising poster for their lotion was located in Osaka. It appears the company is no longer in business. The caption on the poster at the lower right translates as: "For a face like this,[use] Hakureisui which removes pimples and makes [the face] white." The Japanese characters found in the frame on the lower left shows names of other medicines produced by this company. As Teruha appears to have her fingers in this image and the company was located in Osaka, it seems highly likely that the poster was produced before Teruha's move to Tokyo in 1911.

Condition: Very Good+. An original and quite STUNNING 1945 Advertising Poster for the Kenosha (Wisconsin) Comets of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), advertising the opening of the 1945 season as America's men were still overseas embroiled in WW II. The AAGPBL was immortalized in the 1992 film 'A League of Their Own' starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna and a plethora of other Hollywood stars. This poster is printed on the back page of the May 25, 1945 issue of the Kenosha Evening News and features a woman baseball player leaping in the air making a spectaular catch. In addition, the lower left displays the Comets entire 1945 home-game schedule, projected just two days later on the 27th against the Racine (WI) Belles. In addition to the striking illustration, other highlights include several bold, banner headlines, including a stacked headline banner at the top reading: "Kenosha Opens its 3rd Exciting Season All American Girls Professional Baseball League GIRLS' BASEBALL with America's Top-Ranking Professional Players" Also featured is the AAGPBL logo. The AAGPBL existed from 1943 to 1954 and was the forerunner of women's professional sports leagues in the U.S. Over 600 women played in the league, which, at its peak had 10 teams playing at once, though 15 teams were part of the league over its full run. In 1948, league attendance peaked at over 900,000. The most successful team, the Rockford Peaches, won a league-best four championships. The Kenosha Comets were one of the first four teams in the AAGPBL. Unofficially nicknamed the "Shamrocks" by out of town newspapers owing to their green uniforms, a contest to name the team was won by Mrs. Hazel Templeton who chose The Comets which the team officially adopted on June 4. In 1943, the Comets posted the third-best record of the league at 56-52, but had won the second-half title (33-21) and earned a ticket to the playoffs; they were swept in three games by the Racine Belles. "Kenosha again placed third in 1944 (62-54) and made the playoffs, thanks to a first-half title (36-23). The Comets took a 3-2 lead over the Milwaukee Chicks in the best-of-seven series, but lost the decisive Game 7. Kenosha faded after that, placing last in 1945 (41-69), seventh of eight teams in 1946 (42-70), and last in 1947 (43-69)." - wiki This historic piece is complete in 16 pages and in beautiful condition, with just a touch of age toning around the edges. Measuring 22 1/2" X 16", this important piece of women's history is perfect for framing and display! #1H-047.
