    Description

    Up for sale, an original shipping label issued for parcel headed for USA from Imperial Japan, February 1937, aboard the vessel Tatsuta Maru.  This was when relations between the US and Imperial Japan were beginning to deteriorate due to Japan's aggression in Asia. As you may know, the Tatsuta Maru was converted to a military transport and was torpedoed during the war by a US submarine in 1943.
    Thick paper label is aged and torn.
