The standard field cap used by the Japanese army until the end of the war. A coarse, olive green wool constructed cap with a yellow machine woven Army pattern star insignia sewn to the front central seam. Its un-stiffened short visor, made of the same material as the body, has five parallel rows of reinforced stitching to its underside. The doubled, green leather chin strap is fixed over each ear by brass disks, and is adjusted by two brass sliding buckles along its length. The cap has three reinforced ventilation holes to either side of its body, near the crown. Three reinforced eyelets are also on either side of a opening rising from the base of the reverse seam line - the six bound together by an adjustable, olive drab tie tape. All four of the subtle, horizontal thread attachment loops for the neck flap are intact along the exterior base of the cap. A 4cm wide pigskin sweatband may be seen to its interior along with a kanji character stamp.
