I posted a thread about some Christmas Seals, in them there is this dance ticket. I posted it here because of it's historical value and it has perforations like a stamp. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Is this a Japanese equivalent of the taxi-girls of the 1930s US, as immortalised by, inter alia, Henry Miller?

According to the date (Nov 1945) and the inscription (in english), this seems to be the ticket used in the dance hall for the US occupied army at that time. The red seal on the back (reads as "Usu-i") should be the name of the ticket manager; very interesting item with great historical value !

The ticket is emblematic of many of the problems facing both Japan and the occupying forces after the war. Look up Recreation and Amusement Association and you'll see what I mean.

Good for one dance...? How many tickets would you need to buy for a whole evening?
