| Here is a very interesting, one-of-a-kind cup with the individual soldier's face painted on. I am assuming this is the named soldier; I cannot imagine who else it might be. The characters read 'Expedition to Russia Commemorative, Celebration, Infantry, Sergeant [personal name that I cannot read] .' From the Russo-Japan War of 1904-5. |
| Extremely scarce General Nogi metal sake cup with gold wash. Around the famous general are the common Imperial symbols, mums and paulonia leaves. Inscribed on the reverse 'Meiji 37-8 [1904-5] Years War, Departure to Russia, Victorious Return Commemorative'. |
