Description: Offered by Over The Blue Horizon is a genuine Japanese World War II-era MICKEY MOUSE item: a wooden paddle with MICKEY MOUSE depicted in a Imperial Japanese Army military uniform. During the New Year period, Japanese traditionally enjoy HANETSUKI, a badminton-like game played with decorative wooden paddles. The paddles often depict beautiful geisha, ancient warriors, famous kabuki characters, and in this case, the world’s most famous mouse. During 1930’s Japan, MICKEY MOUSE was very popular with adults and children alike, and was propagandized to support Japan’s military efforts in China and the Pacific. This wooden paddle is 16 inches long and 4.75 inches across at its widest, and the mouse is about 7.5 inches high. The mouse sports a green tunic sporting epaulettes and emblazoned with three medals. In his left hand, he carries a military cavalry-style sword, and is saluting with his right hand. MICKEY MOUSE is clearly proud of Japan’s military achievements! Condition is FAIR. The paddle has clearly been used and is a little ‘rough around the edges’ but MICKEY MOUSE luckily remains colorful and complete. The paddle remains flat with no cracks, splits or bug damage, and the back side retains just a bit of original color and pattern.
