Hi,
Nice photo
Sorry I cant read the kanji.
It looks like a high grade officer.The car numberplate says :01 ,(In Denmark our queen has this numberplate ) so this is a V.I.P I think.
The sword looks strange ,it looks somhow to short.

Looking forward to hear other members.

I have a nice large size original navy picture with Yamamoto(the brain behind Pearl Harbor), Togo( Japanese-Russian war), Itoh and kamimura from prox. 1913.


Do You other IJN photos?

[Ian Lim]

Hi


Thanks for sharing Yamamoto's photos, that is a good one.

most of the pictures I have of IJN are from period wwII japanese magazines, including Yamamoto's funeral if you are interested
