This is an antique Japanese military sake cup, decorated with a scroll in the center with the words "Army 1st Class Private" and the full name Arai Namiichiro. Then the words are "For merit in the Meiji 37th Year War (Russo Japanese War) Awarded 7th Class Golden Kite and 8th Class Rising Sun medals" and the date Meiji 37th Year November 26th. The flag on the side extends to the back of the cup, which is pretty unusual. Also it's quite rare to have someone's full name for a cup with specific awards.
