Good afternoon all,
I have come into ownership of a Japanese "Yosegaki Hinomaru" that I would like to research.
Any assistance with translation would be extremely appreciated. I would really like to understand more about the owner, where they came from, also the signatories of the flag or any personal well wishes and messages. I would like to gain insight into the person behind the artifact.
Possibly this might also assist to understand some background to the flag and the eventual fate of the owner. Are Japanese military archives as accessible as in other nations??
I would be very interested in the stamp on the flag, what it means, I presume it is a temple stamp. This might locate the owner to a region.
This is a major learning experience for me, any advice on content, also on handling, treatment and preservation would also be very appreciated.
Best!
