Newly Acquired Good Luck Flag

[Fortunes Of War]

Here is an interesting Good Luck Flag that I recently acquired.  It's made from silk and has numerous small, rectangular red personal seals that identify some of the flag's signers.  There are also some really different slogans written on the flag: The top horizontal line reads, Rikensokuzemidago and is said to have been a word from one of the ancient Buddhist priests, Zendo, and means, “By praying to Buddha, one can slash away one's earthly desires”.  The second line is Hakko Ichiu which was a slogan commonly used that means, "To unify the eight corners of the world".  Another slogans says Jinchu hokoku, "Loyalty and Service to the Country" and Tenjo Mukyu which means, "To continue forever along with the heavens and earth".
