Sharing exemplary mid Showa era lottery tickets from Japan. A collection from Present & Correct.

A very graphic ticket featuring a linear hatched background pattern with three simple leaf shapes printed over the top. Each leaf is divided vertically in two and made of horizontal lines. They are two tone (ochre/orange or red/black)
A pistachio green ticket with white and pink floral swirls, a dark brown stripe and an arc of moire patterned symbols sitting over a larger moire flower.
A ticket with green and red geometric background has a simplistic illustration of a boy on a swing, he has rosy cheeks, a peeked cap and is kicking his legs out
A royal blue ticket printed with two bold, simple yachts. One is yellow and red, it overlays another which is white and pale blue. They both have flags. All of these tickets have elaborate moire effect 'seals' along with a serial number, this defines their authenticity.
A yellow landscape, with hills and a little thatched house, features a fruit laden tree in the centre. Possibly apples, or acorns, in red and ochre. The tree is made of zig zag geometric branches. The sky is blue.
A pink ticket features three kokeshi dolls from tall to small, wearing patterned kimono with simple open mouthed facial expressions.
A ticket in dark green, pink, black and yellow. It features four beautifully illustrated boats/ships of varying sizes. They are stacked vertically.
A turqouise ticket features three simple, graphic fish in white. They swim amongst brightly colour, geometric sea buoys
