Description from the seller

Item Description
Imperial Japanese Navy Rising Sun Flag - Large Naval Ensign - WWII Era Military Artifact
This is an authentic large-format Rising Sun flag (Kyokujitsuki) from the Imperial Japanese Navy, dating to the World War II period. The flag features the iconic design of a red sun with sixteen radiating red rays on a white field, which served as the naval ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1889 to 1945.
The flag exhibits period-appropriate construction with hand-sewn details and fabric typical of wartime production. The bold red and white design remains vivid and striking, showcasing the powerful symbolism that this flag represented during its active service period.
This type of large naval ensign would have been flown on Imperial Japanese Navy vessels, making it a significant piece of WWII Japanese military history. Such flags are increasingly rare on the collector's market, particularly examples in good displayable condition.
The flag shows authentic age-appropriate wear consistent with its historical period and use. It represents an important artifact from a pivotal period in 20th-century history and is sought after by serious collectors of Japanese militaria and WWII memorabilia.
Historical Note: This flag represents a historical military artifact and is offered solely for educational and collecting purposes as a piece of military history.
