Original Japanese WWII Navy Porcelain Award Statue of Fleet Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō - 6 ¾” Tall

Original Item. Only One Available. Tōgō Heihachirō (東郷 平八郎; 27 January 1848 – 30 May 1934), served as a gensui or admiral of the fleet in the Imperial Japanese Navy and became one of Japan's greatest naval heroes. As Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905, he successfully confined the Russian Pacific naval forces to Port Arthur before winning a decisive victory over a relieving fleet at Tsushima in May 1905. Western journalists called Tōgō "the Nelson of the East". He remains deeply revered as a national hero in Japan, with shrines and streets named in his honour.

This is a lovely little porcelain statue of Fleet Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō, standing at 6 ¾” tall with a 1 ⅞ x 2 ⅜” base. There is a faint maker’s mark on the bottom.

The statue depicts him holding binoculars in one hand and his naval sword in the other. The statue is a great addition to any Japanese collection, and comes ready for display!
