Vintage Army Hinomaru Yosegaki Flag in 1944
日の丸 寄せ書き
Size: 70×94 cm
Material: silk
Year: 1944
This is a rare old flag.
During World War II, the Japanese created this flag to send soldiers off to war.
The words written here are words of support for soldiers going to the battlefield and names of supporters.
Japanese flags have large white margins and are used to communicate intentions to others by writing letters, just like a letter. Various designs exist for wartime yosegaki flags.
It is a very powerful flag,because it contains many encouraging words and the names of many people. There are not many flags that have so many "Yosegaki" on them.
It conveys a very strong will and even a sense of fear. It is filled with soul.
As a Japanese, I feel "SAMURAI 侍," "BUSHIDO 武士道," and the strong spiritual power of Japan in this flag.
It is a wonderful work, full of presence.
Numerous yosegaki flags exist in Japan. However, only a few of them display the year.
This flag shows the year.
It is written in Kanji characters as "甲申 十月吉日".
This is "October, 1944."
甲申 Kinoesaru
The year in which the Western calendar year is divided by 60 and 24 is left over is the year of Kinoesaru.
In the 1900s, only 1944 was a Kinoesaru year.
The year 1944 was near the end of the war.
I will contact you individually with the more information written if you wish.
It is also a good idea to frame it and display it.
I will carefully pack and ship from Japan to overseas.
