My collection
Hi mates,
today we had got very sunny waether, so I went outside and took some pics of my little japanese military- collection.
Enjoy the pics- I hope you like it!
Best regards,
Steffen
At first I would like to present my tropical jacket. Whole in whole it looks like the jacket of the summer tunic, but if you take a view under the armpits, you can see, that theres a "ventilation appliance". Just check the buttoms- they are made of varnished wood, because metal buttons would oxidate very fast in the tropical climate. (Example: Canvas/Leather instead of pure leather etc.)
Next item- the corresponding tropical shirt:
The opposite of a tropical tunic: the winter jacket in the rang of an itto- hei...
Followed by some different stuff:
Motorist glasses, often used by tank crews...
Early canteen with canvas and leather straps.
Hokobukuro of a army member. (Kanjis shows the content)
Early breadbag, the owner was Ookata Tadayoshi, he served at an MA fieldcanan 79MA.
Medal of the rising sun, 8th class.
Thanks for viewing

Re: My collection
The Kanji in that scarf or something is probably a name? The first part is either Oogo or Daigo, can't tell which one and the other part is last name ending in DA, then the last kanji is TOMO but I can't figure that one kanji....
Re: My collection
Hi Peter,
a japanese friend wrote me, that the Kanjis means ""Osamu Okada from the city of Ooga", it is a kind of "good luck banner", which was given to soldiers, who were fresh recruited or joined up the army for war.
On some pics friendly posted by Tanaka I could see, that the were worn over one shoulder, like a scarf. A friendly collector from munich showed me some pics of those banners during the battle/ soldiers life. They fixed it around their helmets or worn it like a belt- like a kind of senninbaris.
Are you able to read Kanjis? Sounds very interesting! I for myself gonna start a language course for japanese in autumn...
Best regards,
Steffen
PS. Did I write a PN to you regarding pics of a correct Fasson- haircut?

Re: My collection
Well pretty close anyways
Yeah, I used to live in Japan for a bit over a year and I'm probably moving there later this year again...
I can read kanji, but names are hard + those are older kanji, so.. I couldn't figure out the correct pronounciation and I couldn't even find the proper kanji from my kanji dictionary... Names are a bitch, because there's so many different variations on pronounciation etc...
