bobjim Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 I recently acquired a sword, and this cup came with it. Can somebody translate it? http://img340.imageshack.us/f/img2725y.jpg/ Thanks. bob J. Quote
Brian Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 Bob, It's a WW2 sake cup, there were hundreds of variations of these, and they were given out for pretty much any wartime occasion/celebration/commemoration etc. I have about 50 of them here, the gf loves them and I guess I share her interest. But translating every one would be quite a feat This is a collecting field on its own. Brian Quote
Aloof Pegasus Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 It's a cup commemerating a retirement from the armed forces. Once I served the Emperor but today all I see are the flowers of my hometown Quote
