I was happy to pick this up today. This is my first Pacific related item that I've added to my collection. I hope you guys like it!

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

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!
