These are items used by the police and fire brigades in Japan during World War II. The organization (named 警防団 KEIBOUDAN) was founded in 1939, when the world peace situation was crumbling.The organization was created primarily to protect the public from air raids and disasters, and was tasked as an auxiliary organization to the police and fire departments. Until the end of the war in 1945, the organization played a major role. However, unlike the military, where there is a government office overseeing the organization nationwide, there are not many records or documents of this organization left in Japan. This time, these items were found in an old house in a rural Japanese city that had not been burned down by war or earthquake. ◆Fireproof clothing Size: 110×60×3 cm Weight: 3kg Thick fabric with tightly incorporated fibers. Sewing is strong and sturdy. "福田 Fukuda" is written on the back, which is the name of the owner of this jacket. It can withstand fire and is indeed sturdy and very heavy. ◆Cap Size: 27×18×15 cm It is in good preservation condition. ◆Vintage National Flag Hinomaru Size: 33×43 cm Since these are very heavy, the shipping costs from Japan is very high. Overall it is old and has some damage, but it is a good condition. Please understand the situations. I have other rare items up for current auction, so please check back.
