Bob Hudson Posted March 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2020 It's been a long time since a new yosegaki hinomaru good luck flag came out of the woodwork but today I found 2. Ones I had before all seemed to have had the same prominent phrase, meaning something like good luck in the coming battle. I cannot find that writing on the two new ones and I wonder are they still good luck flags without that particular writing? The smaller one is stamped with a red soldier - is that a hanko?

Bob Hudson Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted March 13, 2020 The smaller one above is 25 x 27 inches. The larger one is 37 x 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warguy Posted March 13, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 13, 2020 Really nice pieces Bob. I have never seen the solider stamp. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted March 19, 2020 Thanks so much to Eric Queen for translating kanji on these two flags: the smaller one is not named to an individual soldier rather appears to have been created for distribution by a shrine. Each corner of the flag has identical kanji naming "Army region/district 30" There is also the common GOOD LUCK text and other messages as shown in the photos.
