Tokyo Bay Fortress Artillery
Inscribed 'Tokyo Bay, Army Fortress Artillery'. |

Tokyo Bay is a port in, obviously, Tokyo. Here was one of the fixed
coastal artillery units in Japan. They were the nucleus of fortress
infantry units that protected the coasts and were backed by mountain
artillery.
This and the fortress artillery at Maizuru seem to have been quite large
and well-established. Although cups from these units are not plentiful,
they do appear from time to time. The designs are to be expected:
artillery cannon (especially the 28 cm howitzer) and other general
military motifs.
