Item is a book of Japanese war art, compiled by the Japanese army and navy, depicting campaigns from 1941 including battles in China and mobilization to Indochina.
Item is named after the Imperial Shrine of Yasukuni, a Shino shrine founded in 1869, which honours individuals who died in service to the Japanese Empire. Following in the tradition of the shine, series of war art books were presented to the families of fallen soldiers during seasonal spring and autumn festivals
