Flag WWII

[kissakai]

Hi I bought this yestertday and I normally do not buy any WWII Japanese items!

I had been translated and I though it was an informative piece

I wondered why it was a prayer flag. I assumed this would stay in the 'barracks'

Size is about 18" x 24" 

I welcome any comments

 

 

 

Described as ‘Nice quality WW2 Japanese silk prayer flag’.

 

The translator states ‘Beautiful writing and slogans’

 

Top – Kyu cho un bu = The fortune in the war

 

Side – To Mr Inatsuke shi

 

Racially:

 

Royalty service > in Japan we call self sacrifice

 

Life and death, penetrate

 

Fighting spirit

 

Volunteer service

 

Justice, brevity

 

Shigeru! Try your best, from mother

 

Emperors country

 

Must protect

 

Young cherry (young solider) with note: Young cherrytree has blossom and after they are scattered

 

Go over the death line

 

Play for the fortune in the war

 

Samurai brave

 

Total victory

 

Loyalty and filial piety (duty)

 

Devil and beast of American and English

 

Shoot! Banzai

That's a new one on me Dave - thanks

This was only posted as I liked it and most of the info is known

What I'm really after is some details/prices for:

1875/14 Army officers parade sword and 1883/05 Navel officers sword

Didn't see much on the NMB
