Product Details
Imperial Japanese Army Mess Kit (Hango)
This is a personal cooking utensil for soldiers used around the time of World War II.
Its distinctive square shape is said to have been designed for easy storage in a backpack.
It is mainly made of aluminum, and the handle appears to be made of black Bakelite (synthetic resin).
This was brought back by my grandfather after the war.
