The inside of the cup is adorned with a golden chrysanthemum at the center, the Imperial crest, or kamon in Japanese. According to the inscriptions at the bottom, this cup is a commemorative cup marking the Japan Property Management Association's visit to the Imperial Palace on May 28th, 1958 (Showa 33).
