Japanese brass buttons

[ferret]

Any one know if theres a book or catalog on Japanese decorative uniform buttons ?.

[Walter Schmidt]

Japanese gov archives has a bunch of specifications for Japanese Army uniforms, I've looked at it a bunch of times and if I recall correctly, there were these types of government-issued buttons in tunic and breast pocket sizes, as of 1945:
- wooden
- brass
- brass with heat-applied paint
- bakelite

Officers bought their own.
