Original Japanese WWII Rising Sun Army War Cloth Flag (40" x 28")
-
Original Item: Only One Available. The Rising Sun Flag (旭日旗 Kyokujitsu-ki) design was originally used by feudal warlords in Japan during the Edo period. On May 15, 1870, as a policy of the Meiji government, it was adopted as the war flag of the Imperial Japanese Army, and on October 7, 1889, it was adopted as the naval ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy (Naval flags have the sun off center to the left). With the sun in the center, this is a flag of the IJA (Imperial Japanese Army).
This is a very nice linen or muslin one piece rising sun flag that measures a nice 40" x 28", and is in very good condition. It features blue oilcloth reinforcements with tie strings on the staff side and nicely stitched borders on the short sides. There is a bit of color fade/running, but nothing major. These are always hard to find in good condition. There is some age toning, but very little in the way of wear and tear. Certainly a USGI bring back from World War Two!
