A Japanese Army Officer's Flag

This is a very nice artwork flag. I think it may be displayed backward, though as the characters for BUUN CHOKYU seem to be reversed. Mike

He must have fixed it because as of now, all the kanji are correct. I like the "Sakura no Kuni" .. Land of Cherry [blossom] .. kanji.
