My collection

Post by Steffen »

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...

Early canteen with canvas and leather straps.

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....

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?

Well pretty close anyways :D

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... :D Names are a bitch, because there's so many different variations on pronounciation etc...
