The toys illustrated beow are variously described as Kosuge and/or Kuromochi, two Japanese stamped tin toymakers. Kosuge (Kosuge Toy Industrial Co Ltd), with the trademark KSG in a diamond, was Matsuzo Kosuge who, after WWII, designed tin toys for Marusan. Kuramochi (Kuramochi and Co Ltd or Kuramochi Shoten), used a trademark of the letters CK in a diamond. Some toys appear to be marked both Kosuge and Kuromochi.
