 The fruit drops that Setsuko eats were made by the Sakuma  Confectionary Company, which in real life was established in 1949  (four years after the events in this movie took place). A few years  ago, Sakuma released limited edition tin cans that resembled the one  seen in the movie. Some variations of these tins also had a picture  of Setsuko looking through her tin for the last drop.
