Hello

Is this an original period Japanese flag?

What does the japanese writing say?  Is it soldiers names?

Thank you..

 

Hi.

The meanings of the characters written on this flag are as follows.

 

・Red frame: "I pray that you will be active on the battlefield for a long time."
・Blue frame: "Loyalty and bravery"
・Green frame: "The strongest in the world"
・Purple frame: "Conquer the world"

 

Other terms have roughly the same meaning.

The veracity of this flag is unknown, but the wording is of a style commonly seen in the days close to WW2.

Thank you
