Item Description
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). Neither of these flags are common on the market, but the Naval flag is especially rare.
This is a very nice weather worn linen or cotton single panel rising sun flag that measures a large 47" x 33" in good condition. It features leather reinforcements with tie strings on the staff side and nicely stitched borders. The reinforcements and fading pattern gives the look of a flag that was hanging in the elements for some time. These are always hard to find in good condition. There are some small holes, stains, and age toning, as well as some tearing and fraying on the end of the flag. However, nothing out of the ordinary wear and tear from being used in service. Certainly a USGI bring back from World War Two, with a great weathered look.
