Silk Japanese Yosegaki Hinomaru - Good Luck Flag - WWII - 1940s -
The Hinomaru Yosegaki is an ancient Japanese flag, also known as the "good luck flag," which depicts Japan's national symbol, the rising sun (Hinomaru). This distinctive flag is often decorated with inscriptions and writings in Japanese characters, often handwritten, expressing wishes for good luck, success, or protection.
The tradition of the Hinomaru Yosegaki originated during World War II, when these flags were given to Japanese soldiers before departing for the front. 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.
