<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 9724154, member: 33&quot;]My thoughts on your question: The plate may only be collectible for the artwork. The occasion of presentation may have been related to a meeting similar to the one listed below.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found mention of a delegation of members of the Japan Association of City Mayors to China in 1984. Ichiro Nakai is listed as their chair at that time, and was the mayor of Odawara. So, a different year, but perhaps another delegation went there in 1975? I haven&#039;t found the dates that he was mayor. Another page mentioned him being mayor in 1981.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was in a notice translated here on page 16 of this pdf.
