Rikugun Quotes

“In May 1944 a contract was placed with Shigaraki Buki Pottery Co for 980,000 mine bodies for delivery over the next year. The firm’s 17 small factories produced them by hand, including the use of plaster-of-paris molds on potter’s wheels and, not surprisingly, fell behind.”
― Leland Ness, Rikugun: Volume 2 - Weapons of the Imperial Japanese Army & Navy Ground Forces
