There was a photo of a full Boehm Nihon Kangakki clarinet posted on here around ten or more years ago - the keywork was near on identical to Buffet, even the arrangement of the articulated C#/G# mechanism and the anchored pillar tabs that sat above the joint surface like the Buffets before the '70s. I think it had a key missing (either the low E/B or low Eb key) and wouldn't be surprised if a donor one from a Buffet full Boehm went straight on with only minor fettling.

It had a fouled anchor logo on it from what I remember and the company name was stamped in Kanji characters (which made me initially think it was Chinese).
