    A collection of photos highlighting Polish-Japanese interwar relations.

    During the interwar period, the Second Polish Republic and the Empire of Japan shared very close and friendly relations, united by hatred for bolshevism and the USSR.

    Photo descriptions in order:

    1. Prime Minister of Japan Tanaka Giiichi, Polish Lieutenant Colonel Wacław Jędrzejewicz and Japanese Admiral Okadada Keisuke in Poland (1928)

    2. Meeting of Józef Piłsudski and Prince Takamatsu in Warsaw (1930)

    3. Colonel Masataka Yamawaki (middle, wearing the Virtuti Militari medal) being welcomed by Polish officers at the main train station in Warsaw (1934)

    4. Polish and Japanese military officers in front of a Warsaw train station (1929)

      Photo #1 was taken in Japan not in Poland. Wacław Jędrzejewicz was a military attache in polish embassy in Tokio and I highly doubt that japanese prime minister went for a visit to Europe at that time.

      Photos #4 and #5 were taken in military barracs next to Łazienki Park. Building from photo #5 [exists to this day, altough it has one more floor now](https://www.google.pl/maps/@52.2144597,21.0428863,3a,75y,326.12h,106.27t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sCIHM0ogKEICAgICEi5qt1AE!2e10!6shttps:%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2Fgpms-cs-s%2FAB8u6HaYwn2Gha0koRopfrEaSMIjjhJZZjcxxZ6oVPMUKXiHMalWs5tMXQoalKGFlA-dysIJ1QTltZdvIY5dUZRoBnueHDJGcWALioPgrbPHp01lSFTNNqpCypm9koET_FBOTLVx9Y8U%3Dw900-h600-k-no-pi-16.267390237318594-ya132.12357124421527-ro0-fo100!7i5376!8i2688?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDcxNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D)
