Japanese "Good Luck" Flag
While sifting through a bunch of my grandfather's I found to me what looks like a " good Luck" flag. I am curious if it is authentic and what some of the sayings are. I was able to do a little research and could translate the "good luck in battle" phrase on the top of the flag. The size is roughly 420mm x 610 mm (16 1/2" x 24")
Thanks,
Dan
It is one of the fake "Tojo" flags made during/after the war for souvenir hungry GIs. If you have membership over at WAF, there is a thread on this type of flag:
can anyone translate this - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums
I would say collectible in its own right.

As Tom said, this is a "Tojo" souvenier flag.
Compare the signatures on your flag, and Tojo's original signature.
