I don't really collect Japanese items but I have a lot of it. Here's my first attempt at a manikin display. I still need to find a leather belt. The helmet is dated 1941 and is reportedly a bring back from Truk.

The mans name (helmet) was Doi (土井)

That is a beautiful display you have. Thanks for sharing it. I especially like all of the ordnance you have on the shelf.

Vic, yes, I've had some luck finding ordnance material.

Impressive display. The mannequin is one of the most lifelike I've seen.

That's a really nice display! Is that mannequin from Yanks?

That looks amazing, but your helmet really sets off the display. It's perfect!

I have been fortunate to find original gear in near new condition. The helmet came from a fellow collector long ago. He got it directly from the vet who brought it home.

If you don't really collect Japanese items, I can't wait to see the stuff you do really collect.

You have a great collection of Japanese gear! The mannequin set up is great, love the helmet with net!

That is not considered a collection? Wow! Simply fantastic high grade stuff.

Looks like you have three type 38 rifles behind your manikin. I have just one type 38. Put a bayonet on them and it's  almost 6' in length. Japanese soldiers average height was 5 feet 3 inches. Very nice display. Good job.

I just realized that I first posted here 2 years ago almost to the day! I need to update the manikin photos since I was able to locate a belt.

Yes very nice display. I have all the pieces and parts have just never got around to putting it all together. Your example will be used to motivate my efforts. Thanks for sharing!
