The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Greetings! Can anyone tell me anything about this 10-inch Victor Japan record? I'm particularly interested in when it would have been recorded/released (pre-war? post-war?), who the artist is and what the song titles are. (As you can see, someone wrote on one side, but I don't know if that's accurate.) I don't believe I've come across another one like it in my collection. (Sadly, I can't remember exactly where I got it, but it was mixed in with a large lot of American records.)

Thanks!
