Bayonet Skills scene.

I found five very special military sake cups. Each one has a scene from the military, drawn in a
manga style. These kinds of scenes were very popular on postcards (see the one on my HOME
page, at the bottom), but this is the first time I have ever seen them on cups.

On the reverse of each cup are five Japanese fans, within each is written one of the Five Virtues.
