pcfarrar Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 Hi, I got this pouch with a ww2 Japanese flag, can anyone translate the inscription on the pouch? Thanks, Peter Quote
Nobody Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 Hi, The inscriptions are; Kokui Senyo (國威宣揚): to spread national prestige Kagayaku Kokki (輝く國旗): glorious national flag Quote
pcfarrar Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks Moriyama san! Does anyone know the origin of this bag. Is this the bag the flags were sold in during ww2? The flag itself is quite small only the size of a sheet of paper. Quote
Nobody Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 I made a brief search and found that "Kagayaku Kokki" seems to be a trademark of a small flag in the war time. See the attached photo. Quote
