The Ultraman Joneus 1979 Japanese Menko Card Low Angle Full Body Anime Japan
Description
This listing is for one authentic vintage Japanese menko card featuring Ultraman Joneus filling the vertical composition in a low-angle full-body view against a blue background.
Menko are traditional Japanese paper game cards that were widely played by children during the Showa era. Because these cards were originally produced as inexpensive play items rather than long-term collectibles, surviving examples are now appreciated as unique pieces of vintage Japanese pop culture and retro paper ephemera.
Joneus occupies nearly the entire card, with his red-and-white body extending from the foreground at the bottom toward his smaller head near the upper center. The strongly foreshortened perspective emphasizes the lower body and torso, while white radiating lines and pale blue shapes appear across the blue background above his head.
This is a rectangular (strip-style) menko card, a format less commonly seen than standard round types, adding to its collectible appeal.
This is an original vintage item produced in Japan and not a reproduction, reprint, or modern copy. A distinctive collectible for fans of The Ultraman, Ultraman Joneus, Japanese anime, science fiction, vintage Japanese pop culture, and Showa-era design.
Condition
Pre-owned vintage item with age-related wear typical of Showa-era paper menko cards originally used for play.
The card shows age-related edge and surface wear, with minor irregularities visible along the edges.
The printed artwork remains visible and recognizable.
Please review all photos carefully for exact condition details.
