Hinomaru Yosegaki Flag 日の丸 寄せ書き Size: 70×103 cm Material: silk This is a rare old flag. During World War II, the Japanese created this flag to send soldiers off to war. The words written here are words of support for soldiers going to the battlefield and names of supporters. Japanese flags have large white margins and are used to communicate intentions to others by writing letters, just like a letter. Various designs exist for wartime yosegaki flags. It is a very powerful flag,because it contains many encouraging words and the names of many people. There are not many flags that have so many "Yosegaki" on them. It conveys a very strong will and even a sense of fear. It is filled with soul. As a Japanese, I feel "SAMURAI 侍," "BUSHIDO 武士道," and the strong spiritual power of Japan in this flag. It is a wonderful work, full of presence. This flag is old and some areas that has stains and rubs, so please understand the situation. I will contact you individually with the information written if you wish. It is also a good idea to frame it and display it. Other rare items are also available in my current auction. Please check them out.
