VEHICLES
Finding a vehicle on a sake cup is a rare treat. Although these
were almost always stamped patterns (not hand-painted), they
are still scarce. Among vehicle cups, trucks are the most
common pattern.

Wheeled artillery vehicles are also found here and there, but
tanks are incredibly scarce, probably because the IJA didn't use
tanks very much.
