WW2 Army Deployment Flag 出征旗 - Imperial Japan national flag "日の丸 HINOMARU"- 107×70cm
The flag maked when before deploying for World War II

Deployment Flag:
During World War II, it was a common practice for family and friends to write messages or names on flags when soldiers were being deployed. These deployment flags carried words of encouragement, prayers, and the love of family. Soldiers would carry these flags with them to the battlefield, treasuring them as a source of emotional support during their time at war.

This flag is adorned with many wonderful words.

丹心報國 (Tanshin Hōkoku)

生求決死中 (Seikyū Kesshi-chū)
Meaning: "To live while seeking death." This phrase conveys the determination to fight with the mindset that death is a certainty, representing a willingness to give one's life in the course of duty.

神意の下に (Shin'i no Moto ni)

Generally, it is used to express courage, dedication, and loyalty.
