Thank you Nagy!!

Here are better pictures for those who like it

I wonder how much 4 yen was worth back then 🤔

It can be assumed that the box can be dated to the times between the two world wars (1920s-30s). The value of ¥ 1 of those days converted into today`s purchasing power was approx. $50-60.

With regards,
