David McDonald Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Dear All I am trying to translate the kanji on a flag. So far I have ? ? ? 稱Shō 何Ka 大Dai 明myō 神jin Can anyone determine the first three kanji and what is the flag saying? Who would fly this flag? Thanks david mcdonald Quote
SteveM Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 It's a flag flown outside of a shrine. This flag says 瓢箪山稲荷大明神 Hyōtanyama Inari Daimyōjin, the name of one of the Shintō gods. Presumably it would have flown outside of the shrine of the same name in Ōsaka. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%93%A2%E7%AE%AA%E5%B1%B1%E7%A8%B2%E8%8D%B7%E7%A5%9E%E7%A4%BE 1 Quote
