Yosegaki Hinomaru "OLD JAPANESE"

This has note attached saying it was from OLD JAPANESE written in '40s. Seems to be a contradiction. Can anyone validate that it's war time? Screenshot_20250701-200144_Firefox.jpg.d8b09159d9e6abfa19eb8e5018df36c0.jpg

It looks to me like those Kanji characters were written during WWⅡ.

 

And it seems that characters were written by Japanese speakers.

I think the note means that it was not the more modern, somewhat simplified Kanji.  When I ask exchange student to translate WWII things this is what they call it. 

Looks wartime to me as well. Nice piece.

Thank you Mr. Bushido & Mr Jerry. Appreciate your input. Think I purchased a Hinamaru based on your input weeks ago 

Any Input regarding Katana and/or Japanese swords? I'm thinking about buying one but am concerned about fakes. Understand their are 3 basic types. Seem to hit all price points. Main concern is it is not is post WWII / and not authentic

Perhaps it's akin to, in English writing, cursive, as opposed to how younger folks these day "write".  More simple than cursive.
