Best guess is that it is a poison bottle or maybe alcohol? Best guess is it is Japanese maybe but I do not know I found it on a beach in Alaska.

That's interesting, yeah I think Japanese. For sure not Korean. Doesn't look very old, looks like it might have taken a plastic cap - 1970s maybe?

maybe? The glass is very thick found at an old high tide mark in prince william sound Alaska
It does have a screw top
when found it did not show remnants of a cap at all.

I would be very surprised if it's a brand's logo. I'm guessing it's more likely some sort of pesticide or disinfectant.

Could you try to post a clearer picture of the text? I know a guy in my area who is an expert in Oriental medicine bottles. He can give us a translation but I need a clearer photo. Based on the typeface, it looks more Chinese than Japanese. It's definitely not Hangul (Korean alphabet) but it might be in Hanja (Korean but with Chinese characters).

Try posting a photo of the entire bottle, that might help?
