This is a Japanese Rising Sun flag from the World War II period. The flag measures 29" wide and 23" high. It is constructed of one panel of white silk with a dyed red disc in the center, representing the sun. Emanating from the center disc are sixteen red rays. This flag was adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1870 and the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1889 as the war flag of Japan. One of the original ties is still attached to the left hand side of the flag, one is missing. The colors of the banner are still pretty bright, the red sun and rays show very little fading. The white field shows some very slight staining scattered about. There are no major rips or tears in the flag, but there are a few small holes scattered around, two in the red disc and the rest in the white field. There is gold trim along three sides of the flag, the hoist side being omitted. These Japanese flags made prized souvenirs for Marines and soldier's alike. Mostly likely this one returned home with someone who had pulled occupation duty in Japan after the war ended. It displays well and will compliment any collection.
