Large WWII Era Japanese Silk 'Yosegaki Hinomaru' House Banner to Wish Good Luck to Soldiers Departing for War. Misc 811. - MISC 811
This is an excellent original Japanese 'yosegaki hinomaru' or good luck banner/flag. The Good Luck Flag was a traditional gift for Japanese servicemen deployed during the military campaigns of the Empire of Japan, most notably during World War II. The flag was typically a national flag signed by friends and family, often with short messages wishing the soldier victory, safety and good luck. Today, hinomaru are used for occasions such as charity and sporting events. The name 'hinomaru' is taken from the name for the flag of Japan, also known as hinomaru, which translates literally as "circular sun". When yosegaki hinomaru were signed by friends and relatives, the text written on the flag was generally written in a vertical formation radiating out from the central red circle, resembling the sun's rays. This appearance is referenced in the term 'yosegaki' (lit., "collection of writing"), meaning that the term 'yosegaki hinomaru' can be interpreted as a "collection of writing around the red sun", describing the appearance of text radiating outwards from the circle in the centre of the flag. Measuring; 41” x 26”. The banner has stitched edges, and the bottom edge has original small tassels. The material has no mothing or other holes and just areas of light staining consistent with age. The price for this large WWII Japanese good luck banner includes UK delivery. MISC 811. (Large Flag Box)
