Description
This is an original commemorative photo album published in 1921 (Taisho 10), documenting the activities of the Japanese Expeditionary Army stationed in Vladivostok (then known as Urajio) during the early 20th century.
This album was not intended for commercial sale and appears to have been produced in limited numbers for internal or commemorative purposes, making it a scarce historical reference today.
Historical Context
During the period following World War I, Japan dispatched troops to eastern Siberia as part of an international intervention amid regional instability.
Vladivostok functioned as a key port city where multiple nations maintained military and logistical presence.
This album visually records that era, offering insight into urban landscapes, infrastructure, transportation, and daily military life in the Russian Far East during the early 1920s.

- City views and panoramic photographs of Vladivostok
- Group photos of officers and personnel
- Military-related buildings and facilities
- Vehicles, early aircraft, and port facilities
