hddennis Posted December 6, 2025 Report Posted December 6, 2025 Wife recently polished this and made it harder to photograph so I apologize in advance for my poor photos. Can anyone tell me what these symbols mean and what this vase was used for? And I will tell her to stop polishing this! Thanks in advance, Howard Dennis Quote
ROKUJURO Posted December 6, 2025 Report Posted December 6, 2025 A western style anchor and SAKURA SUI - cherry flowers on water. Not easy to bring that together! Quote

I don't get the Western Anchor comment?? Looks like every WWII IJN emblem image I find on Google? Howard Dennis Quote
ROKUJURO Posted December 7, 2025 Report Posted December 7, 2025 Well, that is not a contradiction in my eyes. They just used a typical Western design for their anchor emblem. Traditional Japanese ones are not made that way. Quote
