Peach Boy from Nomura

Peach Boy from Nomura

An advertisement from Nomura, specially done for the year 1940, on behalf of a child-rearing trust fund–similar in concept to what Americans know as a Christmas Club. Why Momo-Taro, the Peach Boy? It’s a long story but our knowledgable advisor thinks this was a metaphor for bravery, considering the mounting militarism in 1940. The card was never mailed and is in terrific condition apart from tiny crease in upper right corner. Grade: 2
