This 1950's vintage Japanese round menko card depicts characters from a Japanese fairy tale. A small (one -inch or bean boy) child is born to an elderly couple. He fancies himself a mini-Samurai, goes out in the world, fights an Oni, gets a magic mallet, etc. etc...there are a few different versions of the tale. I'm not sure why the tiny boy and the man (his larger self?) and the rabbit seem to be flying over the mountains.
The colorful card is 2.5 inches in diameter and is blank on the back. Condition is very good to excellent with some mis-registration on some examples. Otherwise this is an unused card. Made in Japan for the Japanese market.
