Silk Battle Flag

I just received this beautiful flag from Tokyo yesterday. It made of thin silk with the rising sun printed on both sides. It has has reinforced corners in leather and grommet holes for the green cordage. The only flaws are small pin holes for hanging in the past, although they are not very visible. The red is vibrant and the white has the typical aged look off white color. Opinions?

Thanks guys! Of course the only reason I got it is to show off here,lol! But seriously, I have been wanting one forever. It was either this one or a meatball with kanji. I believe I chose wisely, grasshopper.

She wasn't cheap, I also got some gaiters or calf wraps ill post soon. Unfortunately I missed out on the uniform, though. I am mostly a collector of TR but I'm getting into the Japanese side of ww2.Makes me wish I kept my sword..
