Russo Japanese War Dispatch Korean Peninsula Map Lacquer Army Sake Cup

Regular price $0

This is an antique Japanese military sake cup, decorated with a map of Korea and Manchuria, with a lot of named locations presumably of the unit named on the cup. The name for Korea named here is that of the Korean Empire, which was founded in 1897, so this must be a Russo Japanese War cup. The words on the back are "Military Expedition" "8th Division 32nd Infantry Regiment". 

Condition: Mint

Size: 3.75" across
