Eric Queen Posted August 17, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2019 Nice flag. Has a really nice "been there" look to it. It has two (2) patriotic slogans. 義勇奉公 giyuu shikou = to serve with heroism (left) 武運長久 = buun choukyuu = continued luck in the fortunes of war (right) The flag was given to 塚本 Tsukamoto (surname) 初義 Hatsuyoshi (given name) 君 Kun (Mr.) The stamp seems to be from 白山 Shirayama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John4022 Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted August 17, 2019 Thank you Eric! I have been waiting to get a flag with this kind of patina. I had someone else translate it too and yours match up except the shrine stamp. -宮白 印山 : Hakusangu Shrine, Nisshin City, Aichi, Japan... He said it was possibly that shrine and he didn't guarantee it. I really appreciate it Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
