I found a neat collection of old Japanese 78 rpm records. They are shown below. Click on the label images to see an enlargement. A few of the titles are linked to MP3 files, too. My Japanese is terrible, so with the exception of a few that have been translated by helpful friends, most are simply labeled with the label number.
Enjoy!

This is a children's record. Has very interesting label art, too. Note that the ant and cart drawings are not duplicates of each other, but have each been hand drawn seperately.
