Original Japanese WWII Signed USGI Bring Back Japanese "Meatball" Flag - 29" x 38"
-
Original Item: One-of-a-kind. Just purchased at a large military auction! This is a lovely USGI Bring Back from WWII: an original Japanese WWII "Meatball" National flag, signed by two GIs! The flag measures approximately 29" x 38", and is made from rayon, an early synthetic fabric made from wood fibers. The body of the flag is white, with a red "sun round" dyed into the middle. It has the correct leather corner reinforcements with two hanging ties each, and is in excellent condition.
This is the typical type and size of flag that would be used as a "Good Luck Flag", but was probably captured before it could be properly decorated, which is why it is in such good condition. The flag is signed in two places to the left of the "Sun":

There is a bit of age toning and light staining in areas, but it is otherwise great shape. Ready to display!
The Japanese call their country's flag Hinomaru (日の丸), which translates literally to "circle of the sun", referencing the red circle on a white field. It embodies the country's sobriquet: Land of the Rising Sun.
