VenitHora Posted March 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2017 Here are two ashtrays made during the occupation of Japan. I like how they depict stereotypical Japanese things which were perfect for souvenir hungry GIs. The first one features Mt. Fuji and what I believe is the Chureito Pagoda and red Torii gate close to Mt. Fuji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
