Personal flag of a Japanese soldier, measuring approximately 28 x 26.5, which would have been carried for good luck during World War II. It was customary for family and friends of the Japanese soldier to sign these 'Good Luck Flags' before he went off to battle. This particular flag has a stitched-on 'sun,' making it a nice example (as they are often printed on the white field). When unfurled on the ground, they would be used by Japanese soldiers as warnings to friendly aircraft not to strike. The flag is mounted, matted, and framed to an overall size of 36 x 35 (it could be removed for shipping, if desired by the winning bidder). In very good to fine condition.
Due to the size, weight, and/or fragile nature of this item, we recommend contacting RR Auction for a shipping quote.
