| Lacquered wood sake cup with both the Imperial Ho-o birds and the IJN Anchor and blossom. Inscribed on the reverse 'Showa 3 [1928], Special Imperial Inspection of Warship Commemorative'. Too bad the name of the ship is not included! |

| Inscribed 'In Celebration of Discharge Commemorative, Gift from Nagasawa, Sakuramoto'. |

| Inscribed 'In Celebration of Discharge Commemorative, Gift from Nagasawa, Nomura'. Note that the cup to the left was given by the same person but to a different sailor. I got these cups in the same batch. |

| Rare naval academy cup. Although Army Academy cups are somewhat easy to find, naval ones rarely turn up. An 8-pointed Academy star is above the traditional Navy design. Inscribed 'Reservist Training Student, Graduation Commemorative, Shibata'. |

| Superb photo of a sailor with his sake cup and award document. The document is dated Showa 8 (1933) and shows this sailor served aboard the Warship Kako. He has a nice merit award silver cup with IJN anchor and blossom in the center. Thanks to Steve for this fine picture. |

| Scarce naval cup with airplane. Inscribed 'Navy Discharge Commemorative'. |
