Scarce 3-cup set from the Military Reservist Association.
These are pewter cups with an embossed membership badge in the bowl.
The original paulonia box is inscribed 'Gift from the Imperial Military Reservist Association,
Eizan Port Branch'. Eizan was a city in southern Korea, but it merged with Naju in 1981.
Before and during the war there was a large population of Japanese living here.
See three pictures of the city here by CLICKING HERE. The first shows the main street in
1910, the second shows the port in 1940, and the third shows a Japanese-style house that
still stands.
