Looking for some help. Need to ID these goggles.

I came by these goggles and they are really cool. The question is what and when are they from? I noticed something inscribed on the green glass and it looks to be Japanese characters. I would appreciate any help with information on What they were used for and by whom.

Thanks ahead of time for any help!

Just a thought but could these not be welding goggles? The green hue wouldn't be a very good colour for pilots!

They appear to be welding goggles to me.

I certainly haven't seen anything like these before, especially the colour of the lenses - I think I'll go for welding glasses.

[Edit: Actually, after much deliberation, they may in fact be snow goggles.]

Cheers
