I don’t post much here, but I wanted to share the newest addition to my collection with our community. This hinomaru yosegaki was taken by my grandfather while on Iwo Jima. Pretty standard flag with slogans and signatures of well wishers. What is rather interesting about the flag is the drawing of the Japanese fighter in the lower left quadrant of the flag. I believe that grandpa had a picture taken of him displaying this flag while on Iwo. If I am able to find it, I will post at a later time. No worries with translations, I will tackle that myself. Thanks for looking!
