This new book is the first in English on this fascinating and incresingly popular military collectible. The main purpoe of this book is to provide the reader with accurate information to aid in translating, determining the origin, value and history of the Japanese military Sake cups. Sake cups were commissioned by naval troops, pilots, tank crews, supply crews, infantrymen, cavalrymen, telegraph and railroad engineers with an innumerable variation of colours and designs.Each cup is a mini time capsule with the owner’s name and regiment inscribed, enabling the collector to search for the background and history of the soldier who once drank a victory toast, or a farewell toast with these very cups.It is hoped the book will foster a greater understanding and appreciation for this little known field of Japanese militaria/art collecting.
