Just picked up these two ww2 Japanese flags/ banner . Just wanted to see what the forum thinks. Both of these are silk. Just wanted to know if I got a good deal and they are authentic.

It is highly likely that this is a civilian item related to the JP military.
The banner is intended for relatives and family members to encourage the soldiers.

 

・【祝】："Congratulations"

 

・【寺田　允彦　君】：Presented to "Masahiko Terada"

※The name of a drafted man.

　There are several ways to pronounce it.

 

・【横濱　雨宮】
Ordered by "Amemiya", who lives in "Yokohama"

Thanks for the information. Glad I bought it.
