| The Japan Red Cross |
| These cups and bottles are not military, but a good number of them come from Imperial Japan. Of course, there are badges and medals as well as other commemorative items. The designs usually have the international red cross, but the Japanese Red Cross also used Imperial Paulonia Leaves and the mythical Ho-o bird, which appears in Japanese legend. The membership badges are very common, but the cups are not as easy to find. Usually found in lacquered wood, pure silver, and porcelain. |

| The kanji: SEKI-JUUJI Red Cross, often preceded by NIHON (Japan). |
| 'Sincerity, Love, Loyalty'. And 'Crown Prince Akihito, Japan Red Cross.' |
