National Potteries Companies Character Shot Glasses made in Japan. These were purchased at a yard sale. The sailor just has Japan stamped at the bottom. The man has the tag shown in the picture. They appear to be the same design. The person that sold me them thought that they may be from the 1920's. I wonder if the characters depict a particular characters or are they unnamed characters? I have a set of 2 of the sailor and set of 4 of the man.
