EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Japanese Scout, 1923" takes us back to a significant era in Japan's history. The image showcases a young Japanese boy scout, proudly donning his uniform and flashing a cheerful smile. This colour lithograph was created by an anonymous English School artist in the early 20th century. The Boy Scouts of Japan were established just a year prior to this artwork's creation, making it an invaluable representation of the country's youth movement during that time. Count Futara Yoshinori and Viscount Mishima Michiharu played instrumental roles in founding this organization, with the latter eventually becoming Chief Scout of Japan. The photograph is part of the renowned Scout Series cigarette cards produced by Ansties Gold Flake Cigarettes. These collectible cards served as both advertisement and publicity for various subjects, including scouting. This particular card beautifully captures the essence of youthful enthusiasm and dedication associated with being a boy scout. Set against an outdoor backdrop, this vintage portrait exudes nostalgia for the 1920s era in Japan. The young scout stands tall with his hat adorned with badges representing his achievements within the troop. As we admire this timeless piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance within Japan's scouting movement during the early 20th century.
