Silk Japanese Yosegaki Hinomaru - Good Luck Flag - WWII - 1940s -

The inscriptions generally include the names of family members, friends, colleagues, or community members, and messages of encouragement or prayers for safety and victory. The flag was often carried as an amulet or symbol of moral support.
