2 Sake Cups


Recommended Posts

Greetings ladies and gentlmens.

 

i again ask for help on these 2 cups, they are both well beyound me.]

please can some one do the complete translation, as this skrip is 110% beyond me.

 

the small one is a enjoyable redcross cup with a imitation stone face with very fine flowers in the corner.

the second is large a bold, with a slightly raised sukura in front of a radiant rising sun, very cool. 

 

PS, sorry for the bad pics, done on my phone.

1st one

祝 凱旋 Iwai Gaisen

Celebration of Triumphal Return

 

昭和九年四月

Shōwa 9, April

 

I guess this commemorates the Japanese establishment of Manchukuo the previous month. I couldn't find another example on the web.

 

2nd one

明治丗五年  Meiji 35

 

満期紀念 Manki Kinen

Celebration of completion of term (of tour of duty? retirement?)

 

第七師団歩兵第廿七聯隊第十中隊

7th Division, 27th Regiment, 10th Troop

 

 

There are other examples with the same phrase "Completion of Term", but I can't quite find out what it refers to. On the one hand it sounds like a phrase that would be for someone's retirement from the army, but these look more like something produced in some quantity that hints at a broader, more public commemoration.
