A rare named warship cup. Made of pewter. The design has a warship in the center, and on either side are
branches. The left has paulonia branches and the right mums (both Imperial symbols). Below is an anchor.
Inscribed on the reverse 'Showa 9 [1934] Warship Yubari, Crewmember Commemorative.'
I found two pieces of paper in the box. One is from the shop where the cup was bought. The name
matches that on the box. It was a store in Kagoshima (southern Japan).
The other paper is far more interesting and quite rare. Here is a partial translation:
'Showa 8 [1933] December 18, 1st Squad, Navy 3rd Class Seaman Nakao Kazue [followed by Nakao's
personal red seal), Yubari Captain Kiyomiya Ko. Furlough Petition, Winter Furlough, 2nd Term, Address:
Fukuoka Prefecture, Yame District, Mizuta Village, Tsunemochi 1319-1. Furlough term: Showa 8 December
31 to Showa 9 January 10.'

The next two addresses are his local post office and police department, respectively. The pink stamp is an
approval stamp; below is an orange stamp that says 'Yubari Captain Official Seal.' The remaining text
describes what is proper behavior during a furlough.

The cruiser Yubari served in the Pacific War and was sunk in 1944 near Palau.

It is very difficult to find such documents along with wartime items. The provenance here is really
amazing--having not only the sailor's name but also his address. The cup, too, has a striking and rare
design.
