Hello!
This was a recent purchase I got from a reputable Japanese militaria seller. It is a sake bottle that is commemorating the "return to country sailing" of the battleship Kongo. This was done because the battleship Kongo was created in England and was the last IJN warship to be created in a foreign country.
My question is this: there is a maker's mark at the bottom. I got a picture of it, but I can't read it. If anybody can read the maker's mark, could they identify who it is and, if possible, supply some information on the person? If you need a better picture of the mark, please let me know and I'll take a picture of it myself.
Thanks!
