Item Description (English): This is an original WWII-era Japanese yosegaki hinomaru flag, a patriotic good luck flag (寄せ書き日章旗) traditionally signed by family, friends, and comrades to send with soldiers departing for military service. Measuring 650 mm x 740 mm, the flag features a prominent red sun disc in the center, surrounded by handwritten messages of encouragement, loyalty, bravery, and victory. Phrases such as 忠勇義烈 ("Loyalty, Courage, Righteousness, Bravery") and 一刀両断 ("Cut down in a single stroke") express the wartime spirit and values of the period. The flag is made of fabric and shows signs of aging consistent with its time, adding to its historical authenticity. The accompanying original paper box marked "NEO HOMOYNE TYPE" suggests careful preservation. This is a rare and valuable piece of militaria, highly collectible for those interested in WWII history, Japanese military artifacts, or cultural heritage items.
