Antique Japanese advertising, hikifuda, "Boys Marching Playfully"

Something about these boys made me recall a marching scene from one of my favorite childhood books, Where the Wild Things Are. Anybody else remember?

Hope to get this item into the store in the next week or so (update: this item now available! Click on "store" in above navigation bar, then "Children.")
