ww2colorado Posted August 2, 2020 Report Posted August 2, 2020 Guys i am posting this and needing help with translation on a good luck flag. Construction and material seems correct 1 Quote
Michaelr Posted August 2, 2020 Report Posted August 2, 2020 I am certainly no expert on these flags and can’t help with the translation but the flag looks post war to me. Just my opinion for what it’s worth Quote
ROKUJURO Posted August 2, 2020 Report Posted August 2, 2020 I think I can read HISANAGA X X on top, but I have no idea about authenticity. Quote
george trotter Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 Its a bit small for me to read and it is (as usual) in semi-handwriting instead of neat printing...but IMHO it is genuine WWII and follows the usual form: Across the top reading R-L is the usual slogan about protecting the nation and good luck etc RH column down seems to be a neighbourhood association name (who gave him the flag). Next column (can't read first kanji) but seems to be his name Hayashi Masahiro? kun (Mr.) Next columns are the persons of the association/village name etc. All the names radiating out from the sun are well-wishers from his family and community etc. Wish I could help you more, but I have never spent much time on these flags...potentially historical interesting info there though...

SteveM Posted August 3, 2020 Report Posted August 3, 2020 Possible to post a bigger picture of the flag? Or, higher resolution? Quote
