EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative vintage lantern slide captures the moment Japanese troops bid farewell to their families and loved ones as they prepared to embark on the long journey to Manchuria, China, in 1931. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen boarding a ship at the Yokohama harbor, carrying their equipment and supplies. The atmosphere is somber, with the sun setting in the background, casting a warm glow over the scene. The Sino-Japanese War, also known as the Second Manchurian War, had broken out earlier that year, and these troops were among the first to be deployed to the conflict zone. The invasion of Manchuria marked the beginning of Japan's expansion into China and set the stage for the larger Second World War in the Pacific. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this image is taken, is a valuable historical resource that documents various aspects of life and events in Asia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular photograph offers a unique perspective on the human side of war, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on individuals and their families. The image also serves as a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history between Japan and China, which continues to shape the region's geopolitical landscape to this day.
