Japanese Beer Bottles

DATE
Decade: 1920s
Century: 20th (1901-2000)
Notes: c1920-1930

Japanese beer bottles with labels. One bottle is brown and has a label reading “Brewery Yokohama Japan Lager Beer Riu” with a Dragon design that is similar in style to Kirin Beer, and the other bottle is green and has a label reading “Kiraku Beer Shinyo Brewery Co.” with a design of a Chinese infant holding his hands up and seems to be of the period that Japan was becoming involved militarily with China.
