Looking Back at Showa The History of Showa [Valuable Item] A complete Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper from 1942 (Showa 17). Newspapers at the time seem to have only had one front and back page. There are folds, discoloration, and stains, but no major tears are visible. I have many clippings from around 1942, but a complete front page is rare. Please understand that this is an old item.
