Just another beautiful and artistic Japanese label with a happy story, to celebrate the 600th post in my blog
Listen to a happy story
One day the mice went sailing.
Suddenly the tree on which they were standing, was drifting in the river (Help! Help!!!)
The mice could not get to the shore.
Suddenly, the good old frog saw that they got into trouble,
and helped them reach the shore.
And since they live happily ever after!
Was it a happy story?

A matchbox label made in Occupied Japan
Occupation of Japan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the end of World War II, Japan was occupied by the Allied
Powers, led by the United States with a contribution from the British
Commonwealth. This foreign presence marked the first time in its history that
the island nation had been occupied by a foreign power. The occupation
transformed Japan into a democracy modeled somewhat after the American New
Deal.
The San Francisco Peace Treaty signed on September 8, 1951
marked the end of the Allied occupation, and after it came into force on April
28, 1952, Japan was once again an independent country, save for the Ryukyu
Islands.
Made in Occupied Japan was printed on pottery, porcelain, toys, and
other goods made during the American occupation of Japan after World War II,
from 1947 to 1952. Collectors now search for these pieces. The items were made
for export.

The Chinese chess - xiangqi
Chinese chess - Xiangqi
Xiangqi (Chinese: 象棋, p Xiàngqí), sometimes called Chinese chess, is a strategy board game for two players. It is one of the most popular board games in China, and is in the same family as "Western" (or "international") chess, chaturanga, shogi, Indian chess and janggi. Besides China and areas with significant ethnic Chinese communities, xiangqi (cờ tướng) is also a popular pastime in Vietnam.
The game represents a battle
between two armies, with the object of capturing the enemy's general (king).
Distinctive features of xiangqi include the cannon (pao), which must jump to
capture; a rule prohibiting the generals from facing each other directly; areas
on the board called the river and palace, which restrict the movement of some
pieces (but enhance that of others); and placement of the pieces on the
intersections of the board lines, rather than within the squares.
