Figure 1.--Here we see a cabinet card portrait of what looks like a secondary school class. All we know for sure was that the school was located in Kanazawa, a Japanese city on the Sea of Japan. The boys all wear the standard cadet uniform. We still see some children wearing traditional clothes to school in the 1920s, but mostly at primary schools. At secondary unifoems the cdet uniforms were increasingly standard. We do see some traditional outfits worn as uniforms in seconmdary chools, but this may have been for special days. The cadet uniforms like the ones here were increasingly standard. Click on the image to see the writing on the back.

The cadet uniforms like the ones here were increasingly standard. The boys look to be about 15-16 years of age. We note one younger boy. Perhaps he was a particular clever boy who had skipped a few grades. Two teachers are seated with the boys. Kanazawa was a rare Japanese city which escaped bombing during Workd war II. The boys here, however, woukd have been involved both the war in China (1937-45) and the Pacific War (1941-45).
