WWII Japanese Flag
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Japanese flag given to WWII soldier ''Hoshino'' as he embarked upon warfare. Written in black around the burning red sun in Japanese: ''Destroy the private, contribute to the public,'' ''Be brave for country,'' ''Hard fight'' and ''Keep it up.'' Though a popular symbol during the war, the Japanese flag today is quite controversial with many believing it denotes extreme nationalism. Made of synthetic, silk-like material, flag measures approximately 34'' x 27''. In good condition with light soiling and small holes and tears throughout.
