Hinomaru Yosegaki Flag
日の丸 寄せ書き
Size: 75×92 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.
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.
◆祈 武運長久 Ki Buun-Choukyuu
There is a place where the flag has been torn wide open. However, a few Kanji characters are visible, which reveals the text of the missing part.
It can be seen that it says "祈武運長久" on it.
This means "Pray for good luck on the battlefield. Come back home safe and alive!"
It means this.
This was the most widely used kanji in Japan during World War II.
It is a powerful character with only five letters, but it is filled with a great deal of emotion.
This flag is old and some areas that has stains rubs and tears,please understand the situation.
Carefully packaged and shippped from Japan.
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.
