Japanese Passbook and Reservist's Passbook

[pascucci]

Thanks to Nick Komiya I was able to identify the reservist's passbook, but now on to trying to figure out what this guy's history might have been. Additionally the lot included a document with the gentleman's name on; a call up perhaps? Is there anything here that would indicate why he was put into reserve status immediately such as an occupation or medical condition? Thanks as always!!

In peacetime, like in this case from 1926, the army could still easily fill its needs by taking from those that came out on the top of the barrel in the physicals. This guy never had to go to war simply, because there were better candidates for peacetime service to choose.

Thank you! Helpful as always!
