Rare Antique Japanese Military Three Soldiers Nikudan Shanghai Incident Army Sake Bottle
This is a nice Japanese military sake bottle, decorated with an embossed pattern of three soldiers carrying a large bomb that's lit on the front towards enemy lines. There's also a wreath on top with a pair of flags. This commemorates the incident of the three "human bomb" soldiers who sacrificed themselves in the fighting in Shanghai in 1932 when there was a stalemate - and they broke through the line thanks to these three soldiers.
