Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a gorgeous example of a Korean War souvenir cigarette case made in Japan for U.S. soldiers on leave in Tokyo or Kyoto. These were the most common places for soldiers to visit while on leave, making for a large souvenir market. This is a gorgeous cigarette case reading:
MEMORY OF JAPAN & KOREA
The case features Mt. Fuji in the background, one of the most popular tourist spots in Japan, with the maps of Korea and Japan in the foreground, with notable locations identified. The symbol for the United Nations is engraved near the top. The cigarette case measures 3¾ x 3¼” and is in fair shape, with the interior still retaining the spring to hold the cigarettes in place.
This is a great souvenir piece that could still be used today. Comes ready for further research and display.
