Have the TV playing in the background , the Military History channel playing a program about the history of the Japanese navy , one thing caught my attention was the mention of the Japanese Naval academy, being built as a copy of the Royal Navy College at Dartmouth .....seems the building was built using red bricks made in England , each brick was wrapped individually in paper for shipment ........ wonder if Nori Bricks were exported to Japan , know they were exported to the US for the Empire State building, wonder if there any company archives anywhere showing Nori's export markets and what public buildings they were used on .
anyone have any thoughts
Thanks
