◼️ Product Description It seems that those involved in the national census, a major national project, were awarded commemorative items for their contributions. This is a copper vase provided by the Karafuto Agency in the third national census of Showa 5 (1930). The brass-like gold base features engraved deer and coniferous trees. Perhaps it depicts the scenery of Karafuto at the time. The Karafuto Agency was the administrative agency that governed Karafuto, which was under Japanese rule from 1905 to 1949. This is a valuable item that could be a precious historical material for Karafuto history. Thank you for your interest.
