Good morning everyone. I don’t normally collect Japanese militeria because I’m not well versed in it. I normally stick to German and American militeria. However a seller offered me this flag from a grouping. It was from a marine vets family, he bought the whole lot and I bought most of it from him except this flag. I have no reason to distrust him but I’d rather double check if you guys would help me. From other threads I’ve gone to first I see it has the "prayers and good fortune in war" general slogan. Is the flag and writing original? Is there any writing that anyone can translate? Thanks for the help!
