I hope Guy sees it. I would be interested to know the translation of the kanji running diagonally upward from the lower right corner. My eye went to them almost immediately.

I didn't know if you meant that line, or the one below it. Just in case:
毛利 博
Mori Hiroshi
別れ次で今日よき日や
Wakare sugi de kyou yoki hi ya.
Other than saying farewell, today is a great day.
[I'm only about 70% satisfied with my translation, though ....]
国の愛*
Kuni no ai
Love of country
[*愛 I can't clearly see this kanji and not being a native-speaker, this is my uneducated best-guess.]
Storyline goes that this was a bring back from Okinawa.
Seen many of these in the last 20+ years, but this is the first I have owned with the white leather reinforced corners. Most always have the gold foil.
