I won this Type 17 (?) gasmask and bag recently. Can someone translate what the tag on the blue bag says please? Thanks in advance for the help!

The white circle mainly indicates the user's affiliation and name.
 It is the "9th Team/51st Group/Uno".

 

Do you have a picture of the label on the part that is not in the picture?

Thank you.
It is in the form of a “【一六年式防空用防毒面】Type16 air defense gas mask”, which seems to have been manufactured in 1951.

 

According to my research, this type of gas mask is similar to IJA, but it seems that civilians bought it in preparation for air raids.
