Japanese-Finnish friendship Portrait Photograph, Autographed & Framed

[Red Falcon]

This photograph was presented to a Finnish officer named J. Ingelius by a Japanese officer in 1936.

I bought it in a bookshop in Helsinki.

The bottom of the photograph reads "ROSTOCK RIGA"

I am guessing the Japanese officer pictured was a Military Attache, but I would appreciate any
insights you may have...

Thanks for looking..

That is a different piece. You never think about Japanese representatives in Europe. But when you think about it they both hated the soviets.
