Japanese soldier's 'good luck' flag, 29.5 x 35 in., of white rayon construction, clamp-dyed with a red 'hinomaru' sun symbol at the center. The white field is completely filled with kana inscriptions in black ink, including Japanese characters 'Bu un Chou kyu' ('May your military fortunes be long lasting') and additional slogans wishing the bearer good luck in battle. The hoist corners are fitted with badly degraded paper protectors, securing cord ties. Shows soiling overall with a few small holes, else very good.
