Description
An Imperial Japanese WWII Military Saki Cup Lot of 5 in good to very good condition with nice legible and prominent kanji markings. Tokkuri (sake bottles) and sakazuki/masu (cups) were commonly presented as personal commemorative awards by units, towns, or commanding officers in Meiji–Taisho–and Showa-era Japan. Because official decorations and Imperial medals were government property or tightly regulated, these inscribed or gilded vessels served as informal yet highly personal tokens for promotion, discharge, wound-return, unit anniversaries or battlefield commemorations. They were often painted, lacquered or porcelain, stamped or hand-inscribed with unit/regimental names, dates, campaign places, and sometimes chrysanthemum or unit emblems.
