Offered here is a 1951 pocket souvenir price list and street map from Plaza The Souvenir Center in Kobe, Japan. This is during the "Occupied Japan" period after WWII and lists prices (in Yen) for clothing and accessories and "china ware." Many of the locations on the street map relate to the occupation - Kobe Base Headquarters, East Camp, P.X., etc.
While the Japanese people had little food and bad conditions after the war, (some were hired as servants on th...e base), military personnel ate well, had excellent accommodations and, as evidenced by this souvenir list, had lots of available shopping.
There are other miscellaneous items listed without prices such as model ships, clocks, "trick boxes, " Danascene works, "antimony ware, " lighters, albums, fans, imitation pearls and ivories, etc.
The booklet when folded measures 4-3/4" x 5-1/4"
The inside front cover lists the "Plaza's Motto" and some "short words" translated from English to Japanese. Opposite is the price list, folded in fourths and glued to the page. Under the list on the page is printed a map of Japan. We could not scan the map as the price list would have sustained damage.
The price list when opened measures 9-1/4" x 11"
The back of the folder is a map of the city streets, marking the location of The Plaza Souvenir Center and lists by number several other locations, including Kobe Base HQ, East Camp, PX, American Consulate, Bank of America, Army Post Office, Seamens Mission, Japanese Customs, Japanese G.P.O., Port Commander and Sogo Department Store.
There is a faint vertical fold down the center of the brochure and the map on the back has minor paper loss in the upper right corner, probably where it was removed from a scrapbook. No other damage.

If you buy it and don't like it, send it back at your expense for a full refund minus a restocking fee if you comply with the following terms: Within five days of receipt, notify me that you want a refund.
