#694 Robots, Spaceships Together With Other Tin Forcefulness Out Toys (The Teruhisa Kitahara Collection)

First I bring to tell that this is non just a mass you lot read. It has just three pages amongst text, inwards which the writer explains a couplet of things close his collection. Mr Teruhisa Kitahara has established seven museums inwards Nippon too is a renowned too famous toy collector inwards his country.

The residue of the mass (it has closed to 350 pages) are simply (impressive) amount page pictures of toys (photographed yesteryear Yukio Shimizu). There is a big chapter dealing exclusively amongst robots too spaceships, too 2 shorter chapters dealing amongst cars too figures & scenarios.

The photos are impressive, because the toys themselves are amazing. Rare too mint pieces of toys from the 1920´s to the 1970´s, most of them from Japanese brands like: Nomura, Yonezawa, Line Mar, Horikawa, Bandai, Masudaya, Daiya... The fascination of Nippon amongst robots comes since a long time. In the tenth trial of Figuras En Acción I wrote close robots, too at that spot I learnt how the Japanese toy manufacture was created afterward WW2 too how they manufactured for American companies similar Cragstan. This operate is non inwards the book, if you lot desire to larn to a greater extent than close Japanese tin robots, you´ll ask some other book, this ane is exclusively to await at too give away marvelous one-time toys.

While watching it, I genuinely though of my recent see to the Toy Museum inwards Singapore, that equally good features a dandy collection of toys, amongst ane flooring of their edifice dedicated exclusively to robots too infinite toys.

So, I recommend the mass for people who are interested inwards curious toys, but amongst the remark, that at that spot is null to read close history or whatsoever interesting facts close the toys. Each toy has its name, the toymaker companionship too the decade inwards which it was built. In 2 item cases, I detected that the deccade was wrong: inwards the machine chapter, at that spot are 2 dissimilar James Bond´s Aston Martin DB5 (from the Goldfinger movie), too they are both dated 1950s... piece the moving-picture demo is from 1964, if I hollo back properly.
