This lot of six original photos was part of the Fujita Collection auctioned by Sotheby's in June 2007. The most prominent figure featured in this lot is HOF manager Daisuke Miyake.
Original photos from the inaugural season of professional Japanese baseball are very scarce. During the 1930s, far more attention was paid to the Tokyo Big Six University league.
Therefore, comparatively few photos were taken of Japanese pro players. And fewer still survived World War II.
Size: 3 1/4" x 2 1/4"
Condition: Ex. The photos have been removed from an album and still have paper residue attached to the backs.
