This would have been presented in 1944 or later to an employee of Sakoda Trading Co. of Hiroshima. This company was established in Osaka in 1938, but relocated to Hiroshima the same year, where it is still located to this day. The first signee is Toshio Sakoda, probably the president of the company back then. Current website of this company stresses their longtime involvement in suppliying machinery parts related to national defense. The flag does not name who was going to war and got this flag from his company colleagues. The word Tokko appears, indicating it was from a time when Kamikaze attacks were public knowledge.
