This document is an official Imperial Japanese Army form used to inventory the personal effects of a soldier who died in service, prior to their return to his family. Listed items include everyday and military necessities such as a washing bag, personal seal, pay certificate, commendation certificate, fountain pen, and map case. Such forms illustrate the meticulous bureaucratic procedures the Japanese military maintained even amid the losses of war, and offer poignant insight into the modest personal belongings carried by ordinary soldiers.
