❶ 90 Years Ago!! July 1935 Park Tour Stamp Rally / Stories of Nakamura Ward

中村区のはなし

I ended up getting it...
Nakamura ParkIf it said that, I had no choice but to get it😅

90 years ago!!
Held in July 1935: 4th Park Festival Commemorative Park Tour Stamp Rally

It lists parks in various locations and the nearest city tram (streetcar) stations.
It was a wonderful project where you could tour the parks, collect stamps, and take them to the Public Hall (probably Tsuruma Park) or a Park Association branch office to enter a prize drawing😆😆😆

Stamp rally ticket
The advertisement for "Yoku Nobiru, Yoku Fukureru" (Stretches well, inflates well) chewing gum really captures the era.
What on earth is chewing gum for children, gentlemen, and ladies!?

Version with stamps collected

The raffle ticket on the right has been torn off✂︎
I wonder what the person who collected these stamps won in the prize drawing!?🎁

Completing it is impressive.
By the way, all these parks are quite a distance from the nearest stations.

Let's take a look at the stamps!!

Nakamura Park / Hiyoshi Park, Nakamura Ward

Since Nakamura Park and Hiyoshi Park are in Nakamura Ward, I know them.
However, the scenery on the stamp might not exist anymore.
It's a fair walk from Nagono-cho.
Nakamura Park also had a streetcar station, you know~

Shiga Park / Shonai Park, Kita Ward / Nishi Ward

Shiga Park: A stamp showing a bridge.
Shonai Park: Maybe stairs!? (These stairs lead to my misunderstanding)

Hagiyama Park / Tabata Park, Mizuho Ward

Both Hagiyama Park and Tabata Park feature a pond and a boat.

Dotoku Park / Kaichi Park, Minami Ward

Dotoku Park: A curious illustration in the center (is that a marine creature!?)
Kaichi Park: A bench and a roof in the center!?

Tsuruma Park, Showa Ward

Tsuruma Park, the representative park of Nagoya.
The location in the illustration shows stairs and a structure.

I tried making a layout map.

If you live in Nagoya, you probably know that while it looks simple on a map, it's quite a distance to travel!!

Looking at the dates on the stamps,
July 23, 1935: Dotoku Park, Kaichi Park, Shonai Park
July 24: Shiga Park, Hagiyama Park, Takarako Park
July 25: Tsuruma Park, Nakamura Park
July 26: Hiyoshi Park
They collected them over 4 days.
Was it summer vacation at the time!?
Maybe they were a student👨‍🎓
I wonder what summer vacation was like in 1935!?🔍🕵️
It's fun to be able to speculate about all sorts of things!!

However, I'm curious about the illustrations on the stamps!!

I wonder what those stamp locations from 90 years ago look like now🤔

I'm so curious...

Where is this!?

To be continued tomorrow😆😆😆
