Birds
| Lacquered wood cup with a three-legged crow, quite rare. This is the mythical yatagarasu, a giant crow that guided Emperor Jimmu's army through the mountains. Inscribed 'Military Reservist Association, Tottori Branch, Showa 11 [1936] June'. |
| Lacquered wood cup with a crow (or maybe a hawk) and rays. The bird has only one leg, but I cannot find any one-legged birds in Japanese mythology. Inscribed both on the cup and on the box lid 'Commemorative Sake Cup, Imperial Year 2600 [1940], Nara Prefecture, Donation Association'. |
| Battle flag and crane. Inscribed '40th Infantry, |
| The pattern shows a hawk being smashed by an anchor. I've never seen such a design before. Inscribed: 'Sacrifice for the Country, Departure to Russia, Victorious Return Commemorative, Meiji 37-8 [1904-5] Years War.' |
| Lacquered wood cup with hawk and map of Hokkaido in the background. Inscribed on the reverse '25th Infantry, Officer's Academy''. |
