does anyone know anything about this alleged WWII funerary urn?  I have the name of the man, but not sure if this is actually WWII production?

 

been searching web, but nothing similar turns up.

I'm STILL not getting notifications from this site so please also respond to bldrhouse@gmail.com

 

Thanks!   Zigy

Hi.

As you pointed out, I think this item is a Japanese style urn.

 

The Kanji-character says "died May 29, 1945," which coincides with the period of WW2.

 

Japanese news is broadcasting an article about WW2 war dead, and there is a photo of an urn similar to your post.

However, the rank is written on the urn in the article, so I don't know if the urn you posted is related to the military.
