These deployment flags carried words of encouragement, prayers, and the love of family. Soldiers would carry these flags with them to the battlefield, treasuring them as a source of emotional support during their time at war. This flag is adorned with wonderful words. The word “Gofuntō (御奮闘)” is a polite and respectful Japanese expression. It comes from “funtō (奮闘)”, which means to fight hard, to give one’s best effort, or to struggle bravely. By adding the honorific prefix “go (御)”, the phrase becomes formal and respectful. It’s often used to praise or show appreciation for someone’s great effort or courage in facing difficulties.
