exciting find! Japanese Regimental Flag!
Gentlemen,
Thought I’d share this very exciting find. Japanese regimental flags are an extreme rarity. Since these silk flags were granted by the emperor, they were considered divine gifts and were NEVER repaired, mended or restored and many were carried to the point of complete disintegration. Most of the few that did survive normal use and the elements were ceremoniously burned to prevent falling into allied hands. This example is from a Naval Reserve unit. 🙂
